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.

Snow Peak's Endless Horizon Campaign

Erin McGrady January 17, 2022

In the Summer of 2021, we drove our van to the coast to create imagery for Snow Peak’s Endless Horizon campaign. We camped in their Land Breeze Pro.4, grilled local shrimp on our Takibi Fire and Grill, rode bikes around Edisto Island, and even had time for a little bit of relaxing. This project was a great fit for us because we not only love Snow Peak gear (we use several of their products in van life and at home) but also because the project felt like an extension of our life. To read the full article and see more images, check out the full blog post with our words and images on Snow Peak’s website.
