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.

Love Moves Campaign With Brooks Running

Erin McGrady February 20, 2022

We often share about our love for one another and our love for running so when Brooks Running approached us about teaming up with them for their LGBTQ campaign called Love Moves, we jumped at the opportunity because it truly felt like a good fit. We worked with them to help create content in the form of two separate Instagram Reels and Carousels. The Reel we made that went on their channel was viewed 45,000 times in one week. This project aligned with our values and was also a lot of fun to produce.
