Wonderland: Gary Robbins' FKT Run Around Mt Rainier (2015) Directed by The Ginger Runner 36 min
On July 1st, 2015, Gary Robbins - a seasoned and winning ultrarunner - started at Longmire, in the shadow of Mount Rainier, and attempted to set the fastest known supported time around the Wonderland Trail. Kyle Skaggs' record of 20 hours 53 minutes was always considered unbeatable. 93 miles, over 24,000ft of elevation gain, and record breaking heat. This day had it all. Could Gary step up to the challenge? Semi-Finalist for Best Feature, Best Cinematography, and Best Use of Humor
World Premier!!! Endure (2016) Directed by Jay Korff 1 hr 7 min
Endure chronicles the remarkable lengths one man was willing to go to help children with cancer while confronting his own demons. 33-time Emmy award-winning television reporter Jay Korff stepped behind the lens to shoot and direct an evocative film that exposes a national tragedy while honoring the struggle that too many children endure. Tom Mitchell competed in an arduous 200 mile ultra-marathon to raise awareness about the shameful lack of research dollars dedicated to battling childhood cancers. The power of this film isn't in the race but in the lives that inspired Tom to run. Semi-Finalist for Best Feature
