Bit of a random trailer park one for ye. My buddy Neil Brazil has a trailer out for a new “movie” called Sea2Summit. Based on the torturous adventure race in Westport last weekend. ‘This winter, get ready to race’. Bressie and Rob Heffernan did the race too….there’s no footage of them, so we think they’re still on Croagh Patrick. Will make a good sequel…
Epic.

A team of freerunners buck-lep their way though the Berlin suburbs in slowmo. Director Frank Sauer sez:
During their three days journey, the freerunners and camera crew got lost more than once on the endless highways outside of Berlin Brandenburg. We also realized that the most interesting abandoned places are not only well concealed, but are well guarded by security and police. Ignoring those signs of warning the next days were packed with thrilling moments of spectacular runs and tricks but also, getting chased by ghost hunters at midnight, and getting arrested by the police while shooting a drone shot with smoke grenades on top of the tallest building in the area.
