The Unarmed： Firelock Silhouettes, 2min., China

In a land embraced by mountains, rituals repeat across generations: young men have their heads shaved, receive gunpowder and firearms, and become inheritors of the village’s cultural memory. Beyond the ritual, a pair of eyes has always been watching. She stands silent, slightly bowed, in the shadows beneath the drum tower.

Return To Sender, 3min., USA
Directed by Ryan M. Clark
This is a short film project I made recently with pro freeride mountain biker, Connor Gallart, in Santa Cruz, CA. He and I did this on our own time and dollar, so it’s not supported by any bike brands or sponsors. It’s not a commercial, rather an authentic project he and I simply wanted to exist. Below is a little backstory on the project.
