Some behind the scenes moments from filming the latest #LT100RUN documentary this summer.

Leadville: Road to Redemption has already surpassed our views on the previous ultra doc and I’m just so relieved. I’m also happy, but you learn not to put too much emotion into into a single project. I make what I make and I hope it lands with others, but sometimes it doesn’t and that can absolutely crush you.

I have a pretty high standard and it can be tough just to say this is good enough and call it finished. All the phone calls, texts, DM’s, driveway chats with my neighbors (yes) and general feedback we’ve had the last three days since we hit publish have been super encouraging.

The biggest thing standing in my way has always been perfection. Once I let that go and started actually making movies with the tools I had in the time I had with literally no money, I started gaining traction.

Thanks everyone for your support along the way. My goal is always to make movies I’d want to watch: fast, fun, a little dramatic, and definitely some tears by the end. Hope you enjoy, more to come 🫶🏻
