How do we bring a landscape back to life? Listen to Gaia.At Bluff Lake, high in the San Bernardino mountains, we had the privilege of documenting the remarkable rewilding work led by The Wildlands Conservancy and conservation director Tim Krantz. What was once a struggling ecosystem is now being carefully restored into a thriving haven for native species — from endangered mountain yellow-legged frogs to the fragile unarmored stickleback.Grateful to help tell a story that reminds us what’s possible when we choose to protect and restore the wild.➡️: wildlandsconservancy.org@thewildlandsconservancy 🎞️ Prod: @dreabessey 🎬 Dir / DP: @clydebessey 🎥 Cam Op: @christianvictorimages ✂️ Edit: @cozemac by @clydebessey

🎥✨ Dive into the chaos and creativity of the 2025 Los Angeles 48 Hour Film Project with our behind-the-scenes look! 🏃‍♂️💨 This is the ultimate race against time: 48 hours to dream up, write, shoot, edit, and premiere a film on the big screen! Friday night: Sparks fly as teams brainstorm wild ideas and hammer out scripts. Saturday: Pure hustle—scouting iconic LA locations, capturing perfect takes, and thriving in the organized chaos. Sunday: Editors burn the midnight oil, weaving raw footage into cinematic gold just before the deadline. Then, the thrill of seeing your work light up the screen and vie for awards! 🏆The LA 48HFP, led by the passionate Leanne and Michael Westphal, isn’t just a competition—it’s a vibrant, growing film community where creators connect, collaborate, and celebrate storytelling. This year’s energy was electric, uniting filmmakers in a shared love for the craft. 🎬❤️ Massive shoutout to @originpoint.io, @clydebessey, and @christianvictorimages for crafting this epic BTS look, capturing every heart-pounding moment. 🙌 #48HFP #LAFilmmaking #IndieFilm #FilmCommunity by @clydebessey
