Surrender: the Go One More Ultra
BIO
PROJECT SPECS
Every lap, every moment, has led you to this moment." In May 2025, 150 runners stepped onto Bare Ranch into a world that would be forever changed. Two souls battled it out for more than two hundred and fifty miles, being chased by storms of biblical proportions and the ever-present fear of dropping out. Kim and Kendall push against the odds as they face each other in a race that may not only change them forever, but the land their shoes have been treading on.
Client: BPN / BPN Media
Role: Director, editor, DoP
Shot on: Sony Cine
Release: Oct 2025
Surrender was the biggest film and undertaking of the BPN Media team. 3 straight days of non-stop shooting, and a story that unfolded before our eyes in a way unlike we'd ever seen before. This film marks our true first "feature" and a step into a new kind of branded cinema, one where we blur the lines between story and immersion. For a race that had an impact on so many people in real-time, the film deserved a treatment unlike anything we'd pursued before.
From the outset, we wanted to tell this story in the most filmic way possible, which meant working without interviews and pushing the boundary on charecter building, world building, and a storyline that would draw the audience into the world we were witness to.
