A personal project that I’m currently working on is a film called Wild United. This is a project that I’ve had in mind before entering the program for my old guiding company here in Seattle. It follows two separate groups of students backpacking in different locations.It involves going to two different locations, one of which was in the Desolation Wilderness in California and one here in the PNW. I shot the first half in California last summer.
My timeline is as follows:
Jan-May 2023: Pre-production, organize footage from Bay Area, logistics with BOLD & GOLD, create trailer with footage already acquired
Jun-August 2023: Ship Royal Robbins product finalize trip selection, Production in WA
August – November 2023: Editing & post-production
December 2023: Share and celebrate!
What I would need to execute the project is to finalize my contract with Royal Robbins and if it doesn’t follow through, work with BOLD & GOLD to find different funding. Also, I would need to find someone (photographer) to come with me on the backpacking trip to get product photos for Royal Robbins.
