Narrative short filmsHere are a couple selected shorts that have shown at festivals around the world, and taken home some awards in the process.
A Brutal, Beautiful Life
A short film, produced by Trust, that is currently on a festival run taking home awards and making people clap.
This is the story of four species. - dog, horse, cow, human – and the confluence of their lives on the range, in the mountains and high desert. This is a story about tiny moments of understanding and connection, unseen by most, appreciated by few. These moments are rich with meaning and speak to connecting with nature in a way that honors intuition and experience.
Directed, shot, and edited by Beau.
Produced by Trust, Musicbed, and Filmsupply
Festivals: BANFF World Tour, AmDocs, Sedona International Film Festival, 1.4 Awards, Beyond the Short, and others.
Whitewater Presents: AVA
“For me kayaking isn’t something where I necessarily want to do the biggest or best tricks; I just want to be able to do it and experience these rivers and these places for my whole life.” Paddler Ava Christensen reflects on her journey as a whitewater kayaker.
This portrait of Ava was shot all over the USA, from her roots in the southeast, to the magical temperate rainforests of the PNW, to sunny, big water in Idaho.
Directed, shot, and edited by Beau. Additional cinematography by Seth West and Dan Caudill.
Produced by The US Whitewater Center
