Leave no trace.
Camping To Connect addresses the systemic racism that leaves communities of color without access to the outdoors. The organization wanted to share a nuanced story of their work, but it was essential that filming didn’t interfere with the campers’ experience.
Get On The Trail.
Rather than approach the organization as outsiders, we packed our tents and stepped into their world, joining on hikes and campfires before ever shooting a frame. This gave us a chance to participate in the camp’s culture, build trust, and plan collaboratively with the organization around the story we were telling.
The extra mile.
Wood Hood premiered at the prestigious Mountainfilm Festival and won Best Short Film at BANFF and the ACT NOW award at Crested Butte. Camping To Connect is utilizing the film as one of the organizations primary fundraising tools.
