HOMAGE TO MOUNTAIN
Filmmakers, who serve as silent observers in mountainous terrains for extended periods, eagerly await the chance capture the feeting beauty of wildlife and the pressing challenges nature faces, all while maintaining a respectful and non-intrusive approach.
The alpine gear, free from the petroleum-based chemicals commonly found in athletic wear and infused with UV- protective and waterproof favonoids—a powerful organic compound naturally found in alpine fora—is fabricated in the lab to shield against extreme weather conditions.
Free of toxic chemicals, this gear mirrors the cushion- like and ground-hugging shapes of alpine plants, enabling filmmakers to withstand strong winds and visually blend into the natural surroundings. This integration fosters a profound connection with the mountainous realms they strive to conserve and depict, ensuring their work leaves no trace behind.
