Our Story
This film was inspired by our director Kieran Thompson’s journey to reconnect with his childhood best friend after nearly losing him in a tragic accident. It’s about friendship, masculinity, vulnerability, and the kind of inner struggles we rarely speak openly about, especially among men.
To bring it to life, our cast and crew camped in the Rocky Mountains of southern Colorado. One of our toughest days was a seven-mile trek on foot, climbing 2,746 feet with gear on our backs to film a pivotal scene at the top of Culebra Peak, 14,047 feet up.
All of that hard work feels worth it, because we believe we’ve created a meaningful film to share with the world.
