After it all, and through his newly found passion for skiing, Tony sets an ambitious goal for this season.

Michael CB Stevens has spent the much of the last decade making films at the far reaches of the world. His films have won awards, been shown in over a dozen countries around the world and have been featured in international streaming platforms. Michael has a diverse background in documentary, narrative, commercial, feature and short films featuring A-list celebrities to
professional athletes.
Spencer Miller was the worst skateboarder of the group—so he became the designated camera guy. However, that led to a passion, turned career, in film. He now specializes in commercial work, with clients such as Apple, Vail Resorts, and Marriott Bonvoy. He also likes to read, graduating with a degree in English literature from Colorado College. That literary background sets the scene for all projects he shoulders—with story arc being the primary fixture.
Our goal with "One For All" was to bring audiences close to the tragedies Tony Drees has suffered, contrasted with the grit and grace that he brings to his life. We wanted to highlight his dedication to bettering those around him. The magnetism of his personality demonstrates his commitment to achieve the impossible.
