Last season I did some work with Ride Guide TV. In early December I field produced and shot a piece at Sol Mountain Lodge in the Monashee Mountains near Revelstoke, BC.
Mark Butcher, Joel Whalen and Brother Thommy were along for trip, which was an awesome way to kick off the season.

In March 2009 I was up in Clearwater, BC with Richie Small and Jeremie Duchaine on another backcountry touring assignment.

I’ve barely had my video camera out since we moved to Miyazaki and I feel slightly guilty. It’s just too hard to film when the surf’s so good, and all you want to do is be in the water yourself.
I’ve only managed to grab a few shaky shots, not really much to write home about, [...]

Set in the disputed region of Kashmir, an area deemed the “most dangerous place in the world” during the violent militant insurgency of the 1990’s. What director Anthony Bonello and crew find in 2010 is an aesthetically beautiful [...]
