We love this beautiful documentary about life in #Assynt by @danlior.bsky.social 👉 buff.ly/38acb2L Earlier this year we announced our partnership to revitalise the area with the Assynt Foundation and Aviva. More on that here 👉 buff.ly/qQOMCK2

Assynt - Home is where the Croft is - A short cinematic documentary
ASSYNT - A short documentary At the remote northern edge of Scotland, deep within the Highlands, lies "Assynt," a place time seems to have forgotten. A wild land of yellow Gorse, ancient mountains…

First time I've ever fly fished was in Scotland. Caught a beautiful Trout. What a magnificent country.

Just returned from working on a new documentary in Mexico. I feel like this is going to end up being one of the wildest projects I've worked on. Here's so shots from behind the scenes.

Big Sky Country. 🌄 The film I directed in Montana was so remote we couldn’t drive in. It took a two hour horseback ride to reach it. A first for me and my DP Tom (pictured here, rocking a gas-station cowboy hat). Stepping out of your comfort zone isn’t always easy, but it’s always worth it.

Just got back from filming a project in the Montana wilderness over the span of a week. We ate the fish we caught, bathed in rivers, and got around on the horses. I love the mountains.

Post 1/5 In 2017, early in my career, I was sent to Tanzania to shoot a short adventure film in the Serengeti. While crossing the plains, my guide spotted a cheetah and parked beside a rugged vehicle with a sign: “FILMING – DO NOT FOLLOW.”

Faces of the Achuar: Tucked deep within the Amazon rainforest along the Ecuador–Peru border, the Achuar are known as the Dream People of the Amazon. To this day, they honor their ancestral tradition of interpreting dreams in sacred ceremonies held each morning before dawn.

The Achuar, also known as the "dream people" of the Amazon have long been practicing a daily ritual where the entire family gathers around to interpret their dreams. Loved working within the community and experience their culture.

Majestic and resilient, the North American bison once roamed our prairies by the millions. By the 1900s, fewer than 300 survived, a humbling reminder of nature’s strength. These original caretakers of the land continue to inspire. #Bison #Conservation #Wildlife They are so much fun to photograph

Serious question. If you had the skills, Is there a person or place in your life you would have done a documentary about? What's the most interesting person, or place you know about that would blow people away. Here are 2 great references as a start point. vimeo.com/339574637 vimeo.com/577974858

Six hours since I deleted my X account. Birds are singing sweeter, my posture has improved, and I baked a sourdough that didn’t look like a failed science experiment. Oh, and the neighbor’s cat finally likes me. Coincidence?

If you’ve had a great year, may you carry that momentum, drive, and energy into the next. If this year was a time for slowing down, I hope it gave you exactly what you needed. If you didn't get what you wanted, I hope you got what you needed. Wishing you a Happy New Year everyone.

Best coffee I’ve ever had came from a Panamanian mama on the side of the road while I was on a mission in rural Panama. I still remember the aroma. I’ll admit, I did end up with some stomach issues (probably the water), Totally worth it though. Some experiences stick with you in more ways than one!

Andy lives in a van on the side of the road in Assynt, Scotland. I met him while filming my next project. He invited me in for tea and a chat. His wife passed from cancer years ago, and now he spends his days surrounded by nature. Merry Christmas. May you find gratitude in whatever surrounds you.
