Moments from Costa Rica with National Geographic. I’ve been to Costa Rica a handful of times before, but what made this trip so special was how much of the country we got to experience in such a short amount of time. We got to dive deep into cultural experiences with an indigenous group of women, explore a family coffee operation, learn about a wildly cool conservation effort on the Oso Peninsula, hang with the locals on the beach at sunset on the east coast, and on and on. One for the books!

I never posted this one, which is a little ridiculous because it’s one of my favorite shoots of the last few years. We spent ten days in Costa Rica with National Geographic making a film for the country’s tourism board, with @kayaensor directing, alongside two National Geographic Explorers, photographer @rubensalgadoescudero, whose work documents the human condition, and conservation biologist @christine_eleanor.
Rubén led us on a cultural exploration of Costa Rica, through a produce market in Turrialba, a day with Bribri women harvesting cacao and preparing it for a traditional ceremony, and a coffee farm that’s been in the same family since the 1890s. Christine took us down to the Osa Peninsula, into the forest with a wildlife conservation team and onto the beach with a sea turtle hatchery crew. One really memorable line for me from the film came from one of the turtle team, who told us conservation in Costa Rica is simply part of who people are. I wish all of us could feel that kind of connection to the place where we live.
The film has passed 2.5 million views, so some of you have probably seen it already. If you haven’t, it’s worth your time. Thanks to Kaya for bringing me onto this one, and to Rubén and Christine for being such good company in the field.

Fun times getting creative with @koozie @atwillpilates_ for our new studio, @emsbodyatelier. So inspired by human movement and the beautiful place we call home these days!!

Recent beautiful views on monitors in beautiful locations. And my first cappuccino in the most historic bathroom of the most expensive hotel room I’ve ever stepped foot in.

One beautiful way to start a shoot day: violin at sunrise at a historic French castle. One of the things that really stands out to me about this project is the locations. Rarely have I had the chance to shoot in so many epic places one after another (after another). This castle is in near the Peche Merle cave, which contains paintings that are 25,000 years old. Definitely a special place to shoot a scene.

“They grow up so fast.” Taking some much needed family downtime right now. Hope that you can too 💚

This is the Tugur River in the Russian Far East. I spent time here filming giant taimen, a fish in the trout family that, in the right places, grows to be 150lb. This is one of those places and that’s a BIG ASS trout. A Russian oligarch bought the river, protected it, and flew us hours into wilderness (twice!) in his huge old soviet chopper to his beautiful fishing “camp” to document the place. The political situation makes filming here impossible now (it felt sketchy then). A portion of the footage we shot ended up in Running Wild: Return to the River, now playing in IMAX theaters, which I was very fortunate to spend a chunk of the last two years shooting. Some images only exist because you were in the right place before the door closed. Pretty cool to have gotten a seat on that chopper and really satisfying to have footage shot for one film end up in a freakin 3D IMAX film years later. Now that’s an upcycle.

We spent time below Rome and Naples this winter in places that few people get to experience. Millions walk the grounds of the Baths of Caracalla every year but almost nobody gets hours to wander around the mithraeum and network of tunnels beneath it. It’s wild to stand in a place and imagine people performing sacred rituals there thousands of years ago (Sacrificing a bull? Wild). This kind of access is one of my absolutely favorite parts of filmmaking and it’s this kind of access and the conversations that we have in these places that makes this project so fascinating. Stay tuned…

I mean, if you’re going to wingsuit BASE jump with your cattle dog you have to get it to the “exit point” somehow! Classic Dean would follow next not attached to the safety line. (I would use the safety line, thank you very much.)
Check out @senderfilms The Dark Wizard series on HBO for the full story.

When this film came out, people lost their minds. The outrage was intense—people were freaking out about how someone could BASE jump with their dog. Animal cruelty, recklessness, irresponsibility, consent. The comments were wild.
I was there. I watched Whisper every day for a month. I watched her wait at the exit point as Dean suited up, watch him load her into the pack, put her little doggles on. There was no ambiguity about what she wanted, no question of whether she “consented.” She loved flying with Dean and Dean loved flying with her.
That said, the sport of wingsuit BASE jumping was killing people at a dizzying rate that fall. Something like 5 people “went in” that year in a sport that had fewer than 50 people seriously practicing it. On one of our shoot days, someone’s parachute failed to open like 30 feet from me. We didn’t know the person, but it was a small community. Nobody skipped a beat—the day’s jumps continued. That was wild to me. But somehow I really truly believed that Dean was in a different, safer mindset than everyone who the sport was losing. I wish I had ultimately been right.
That last frame is a raven. In The Dark Wizard — HBO’s four-part series on Dean’s life — the raven is a recurring symbol. It strikes me how Whisper is looking at it almost knowingly in this frame.

My career as a filmmaker has been based on near constant movement. I remember the first time I heard to someone refer to a job as a “travel job” and wondering what they were talking about—like, that’s what a job is, right?! A shoot has always meant getting on a plane, probably fly to the other side of the world.
Somewhere along the line I moved from Portland to Santa Barbara. And I married into a beautiful Classical Pilates studio, @atwillpilates_ That grounded me just a little. I wasn’t really involved in the studio, but it was a beautiful thing to be a part of tangentially. Two babies grounded me a lot. One day it made sense to launch @emsbodyatelier as a sister studio to Atwill. EMS was about to become popular, we were poised to be the first in Santa Barbara to offer it. It synced well with Atwill. It would (hopefully) be another layer of stability for the family. Fine, let’s go for it.
Building the EMS studio was (and is still) a lot of work. But, it’s work that’s so complimentary to filmmaking that I love it. Filmmaking, at least the brand-focused aspect of it, feels so abstract and disconnected and…temporary a lot of the time. This studio, these sister studios, seem like the total opposite of all of those things. Actual construction, physically grounded, regular clients, positive physical transformation, no bullshit, building a community in our small town. It’s rad.
I do so much film work for clients. Now, I have an outlet to be my own client. Collaborating with @koozie on this was a dream. This is a small town we live in and friends helping friends, neighbors helping neighbors, is one of the coolest parts of small town living. Koozie is a freakin genius and it shows here. We got so damn lucky that he agreed to work with us. My wife Colleen dances at @statestreetballet with Maria and Noah—their genius is very apparent. BRAVO you three. I’m just proud to be the connector, thankful that I get to collaborate with such talented people, and proud to be a real part of my Santa Barbara community.
