pursuit of beauty
Directed, produced and was talent in a short film for Mad Rock about what it means to chase beautiful movement in beautiful places. The journey to find movement in stone can be a labor of love - driven by curiosity, wonder, and the quiet hope that the line you're working reveals something worth the effort.
I built the concept around more than just the climb. I wanted to capture the full experience: rest days in the desert, training between attempts, the landscapes that hold you while you try, and the candid moments at the crag that don't make it into highlight reels. I coordinated production, worked with the film crew on drone aerials and immersive follow-cams, and recorded voiceover reflections on the harder parts - the failures, the doubt, the question of whether any of it matters if you don't send.
