Danny Hart: Hart and Soul Danny's hart-stopping run at Champery – the culmination of a quest that started years before – signaled the beginning of a new journey down a path paved with championship stripes. In the first installment of "Hart and soul," we go back to the beginning, to the little fishing village of Redcar, England and see how Danny's style and dedication to his sport developed from an early age.

The World's Most Dangerous Run This was one of the coolest projects I've ever been a part of. Five Ten was about to release its first traditional running shoe, dubbed the Atlas: Pamploa. Just Pamplona for short, it is a bright red shoe that is really hard to miss.

We designed a marketing campaign around the shoe. Since it was a running shoe, and since it was called Pamplona, and since Five Ten is the Brand of the Brave, we thought, "What is the most dangerous run in the world?" The Running of the Bulls.

I spent a week in Pamplona, Spain, documenting the entire festival. The atmosphere was electric and full of positive energy.

And the best part? I got to run with the bulls! With cameras on my person! I definitely got to check an item off the Bucket List that week.

This commercial premiered at the Outdoor Show in Friedrichshaffen, Germany. I had 72 hours to pour through my 6 days off footage and get a final cut. And what you see is what came out of that caffinated, 72-hour edit session. 2011 Directing, Cinematography, Editing

The March of San Fermin The Festival of San Fermin in Pamplona, Spain has deep religious overtones. Actually, the word overtones doesn't really do it justice. Thousands of people gather for mass daily during the festival.

This photo was taken during the March of Saint Fermin. Everyone was facing the statue of the dead saint; everyone but a blue baby in a carriage. I was like the baby was looking right at me.

Carmina Burana re Dux I wanted to use Carl Orff's Carmina Burana in this edit, but the licensing was too extravagant. So, i did the next best thing: we just made our own music.

I think this edit captures the "epicness" of what Five Ten athletes do.

Whether it's Dean Potter free-basing off Eiger; JT Holmes getting his wing suit on in Switzerland; Steph Davis BASE jumping Castleton Tower; or Andy Lewis high lining in Boulder, these are just a few of our awesome friends to be featured in our latest Athlete Driven video.

Five Ten is the Brand of the Brave and our athletes prove it! 2010 Directing, Editing
Rework in the Wild This photo was as submission to the "Rework in the Wild" contest by 37 Signals. The concept was to take a photo capturing the essence of the material.

This photo was in the top 3 out of nearly two thousand submissions. And my prize? A handy-dandy, brand-spanking new iPad.

Ego Ego is an esoteric, dark comedy about how the spiritual ego isolates people from fully experiencing their lives.

When Guy meets the woman of his dreams, Jasen will do anything, sane and insane, to keep Guy under his control. Guy is forced to choose: give in and let Jasen steer his life, or do what he's never had the courage to do before and take control of his own destiny. 2009 Directing, Screenwriting, Editing
