R2AK “Clip of the Day” series
Creative Director, Field Producer, Camera
From 2016 to 2019 my title at the Race to Alaska was FilmBoss. In this role I created the “Clip of the Day” series as a way promote the race and immerse fans in the experience. I worked with the Northwest Maritime Center’s marketing team, Executive Director Jake Beattie, and RaceBoss Daniel Evans to make this series. We would make mini-documentaries published from remote field locations in the BC coast, with extremely tight turnaround. Using powerboats, planes, helicopters, and drones we captured the essence of this experience over 750 miles of coastline for 21 days straight.
In this capacity I also founded a field production competitive internship that put young filmmakers in the field. Where we mentored talent shooting and producing with our media team, as well as publishing and authoring clips to be release to thousands of fans.
Below are a few of my favorites. It was an incredible experience and an unforgettable mix of creative and logistical challenges.
