Running Films
Running is my passion, storytelling is my purpose
This is a collection of running films I’ve directed, produced, shot, and edited - each one grounded in the real emotions, places, and people that make running such a special sport.
Some were made for brands, others for myself - but all of them reflect the reasons I keep coming back to making running films: the quiet grit, the unexpected beauty, and the connection between effort and landscape is something special. You’ll find stories of pro athletes and everyday runners alike, captured in races, on training runs, or deep in the wilderness.
My goal is simple: to make films that capture the human spirit. Whether they’ve screened at festivals or resonated with audiences online, these stories are meant to last longer than a split time.
Thanks for being here. I hope you find a story that sticks with you.
