From the Ash

“From the Ash” is a visual metaphor for pushing forward as the world seemingly crumbles around you.

Background Information:
In May of 2018 the Ute Park wildfire burnt 36,740 acres; a large swath of it was on the Philmont Scout Ranch. Thank you to the Boy Scouts of America for allowing us to film on location at Philmont.

Everything was shot in a controlled setting on private land during the winter in a recently scorched wildfire area. The crew was under the supervision of forestry professionals to ensure everything was executed safely. There wasn’t a single live tree touched throughout our entire production.

Thank you to the men and women who put their lives at risk fighting real wildfires around the world. Please be responsible this wildfire season.
