Director Statement

I've been a climber for many years and came across Memphis Rox and just knew that I wanted to experience it in person. When the opportunity arose to craft a story with them, I felt a bolt of excitement.

This project was such an honor. Memphis Rox embraced me and our small team like family. I feel graced to have gotten to work with the amazing people there and can't wait to revisit Rox again soon! Our greatest hope for Your Last Best is that it will inspire people to visit and become ongoing supporters of Memphis Rox and all that it brings to the community of South Memphis. It's an extraordinary place!
