Documentaries
We produce documentaries that are about outdoor adventures with a focus on the benefits of spending time in nature. The mission with our films is to encourage everyone to get out there and find their own adventures in nature. Not just because it’s fun, but because it’s good for the soul.
Our films explore different ways and reasons that get people into nature. These characters can have very different backgrounds and motivations but the underlying theme is the same between all the characters in all of our films. We all believe that there is something important to be found in nature.

To call the Hayduke a trail is a bit misleading; it is a route that exists on maps and only occasionally on the ground. Most of the time there is no trail to follow and moving through the canyons can be extremely difficult and dangerous. A hiker must figure out how to navigate these treacherous conditions every day. The 800-mile-long route snakes through the canyon country of Utah and Arizona including three descents into the Grand Canyon. Out there one is submersed in untouched wilderness and the solitude is deafening. It’s exactly the kind of environment that Alex Maier was looking for to find a deeper understanding of life itself.
