Short films, Film fests, YouTube, and Reels

In 2024 we received the No Man’s Land Film Festival’s Genderqueer Filmmaker Grant which helped us bring Full Spectrum - A Queer Outdoorsy Film About Autism, to life. It had its World Premier in Denver in 2025 as well as travel around via the NMLFF World Tour. During the No Man’s Land Flagship Festival Erin received the Fem-Wow Award for favorite All-Woman production / Director. Full Spectrum was also selected for the NMLFF World Tour and was recently selected for the Muskoka Film Festival in Ontario, Canada.

We’ve been hired by numerous outdoor brands to breathe life into projects.

Recent video clients include Outside, Merrell, Coleman, Orvis, Sierra Nevada Brewing Company, Stio, and ENO Hammocks.
