The challenge for this project was to create an engaging short that could be a nod to mountain bikers everywhere who had been searching for a glimpse of the new Range. It had been rumoured for years, spy shots were leaked, development meetings were crashed, internet forums set ablaze... I scripted this project during the height of Covid, and we shot in the small village of Pemberton, BC. With a small crew and trusting client, we were able to capture a short narrative of the new Range bringing down the mountain, while townsfolk sought a glimpse of the coveted bike.
