Director Statement

Ever since I went on an expedition to Mount K2 basecamp in 2017, I've wanted to tell a story about the mountaineers who go there to touch the heavens.

This film has been in the works since the past 5 years and I couldn't be happier to bring my vision to life.

Having real life mountaineers as the cast of the film has been nothing short of an honour and it has been an incredible experience to be among one of the first film crew to have shot a feature film in the K2 mountain region.
