Mountain Running Co.
Working in Santiago, Chile
I was approached by one of Chile’s top trail running groups Mountain Running Co. to make a short branded documentary for them and their sponsors. With some of South America’s most elite trail runners, I embarked on a month-long project filming and running with them around the best trails in Chile. With now over 15 thousand Instagram followers and a leading spirit and the trail running community in Latin America, the story of Mountain Running Co. drew me in and was a story we believed needed to be told.
I am drawn to stories of adventure, of course, but I strive to create long lasting and meaningful work that aligns with a broader community. Films of pure adventure are not enough for me, I dig deep and aim to lift up the voices of those who are doing impactful work in their communities. Mountain Running Co was just that story I was looking to tell. Whether your an elite trail runner or just hoping to get out and get more exercise around Santiago’s local trails, this group unites runners and non-runners alike. In addition to spreading the word about their group to the local runners, this film was used to secure Mountain Running Co. with an official brand partnership with Merrell shoes.
