What's in a Trail?

I mentioned in my last post that I was working on a documentary short film about why I started backpacking The Colorado Trail seven years ago, and why I continue trying to complete it with my dogs. After a week and a half, I’ve finished the film. It’s my first video project of this scope and I don’t think it will be my last. Though it was challenging to do as a total amateur, and I didn’t have nearly enough b-roll to avoid using still images and risk making it look more like a slideshow than a short film, it was so very rewarding to create, and I learned a lot about the process.

So, if you’ve ever wondered why I’m so committed to this trail, or if you just want to see how my first short film project turned out, watch below.
