When I pitched an art house fantasy film I never thought it’d get made. It was a strange ride, and an intense shoot in the cold. Wraith has dropped today after a long genre festival run (and a few awards along the way ❤️‍🔥) You can watch it @filmshortage 🍁 (link in bio) 🎬 Dir. by ✌🏻 🎭 Starring @choobai @nicky.fournier @manitoba147 @michamusing @jenviens @alyslominski 🎥 DP @rene_arseneau 🎵 Score @phar.composer 🎞 Prod. @jenviens 🎨 Color @beatricetremblay_ 💡Gaffer @thehighwalker 💡Grip @ky.leruge 📽 AC @_naomisv_ 👗 Costume @sabrina_miller_designer 💄 Makeup FX @vladimir.bodypaint 🎤 Sound @estelleisback @ianastorquiza 💥 VFX @handmade_noah

Oman 🇴🇲 Elemental. Vast. Ancient. Unhurried. Enduring. Hospitable. Nomadic. Unfiltered. Sand. Wind. Frankincense. Perspective. Humility. Immense. Unforgettable. Jewel of Arabia. Indeed.

An escape from chaos 🇧🇭🇹🇭🇸🇬

Picos de Europa. Northern Spain. 2025. A couple of days in the mountains with close friends. Attacked the Collado Jermoso mountain route. Snow, rainbows, and everything in between. Memories made. @sdnewby @alex__etc

It’s astounding how far the technology has come. It’s almost impossible to keep up with the updates and advancements and new models. At the bottom line, fidelity no longer seems in question. The arguments being raised, and opportunities being unlocked, are head spinning. Created with @runwayapp @soraofficial @klingai_official @higgsfield.ai

“Wraith” is a dark fantasy short inspired by Norse mythology, featuring the largely unexplored cryptid of a Hulder, a seductive yet demonic forest creature. The film unfolds as a non-linear journey, influenced by Heart of Darkness, with a silent protagonist at its core. Shot in the bleakly atmospheric Canadian fall, and enriched by detailed costume design and dialogue rooted in Scandinavian myth, written by fantasy novelist Nick Labonte, Wraith explores themes of redemption and annihilation. The identity of the titular Wraith is left to the viewer—whether it’s the enigmatic protagonist, the Hulder, or the mysterious shaman who sets the events in motion.

Climbed Crib Goch, ‘The Red Ridge’, this weekend on the way to the summit of Mt. Snowdon. Known for its fatalities (~10 per year), the knife edge ridge is extremely exposed with thousand foot drops on either side. One wrong step and it’s game over. Loved every second of it. Brilliant adventure alongside @alex__etc ✌🏻
