RUNNING OUT | LUCY BARTHOLOMEW
Runtime: 15 minutes
Protagonist: Lucy Bartholomew
Director: Bryan Hynes
Country: Australia
For Lucy Bartholomew the world of ultra running began when she was just 15 years of age as a way to spend more time with her father. Lucy would then go on to become “The World Ultra - Junior Running Champion” winning races and podiums across the globe.
After a turbulent 2020 Lucy dreamt to do her longest ultra run yet. The grueling 231km Larapinta Trail in Central Australia.
After meeting two creatives in early 2021 in South West Tasmania, Lucy decided it was time to run and capture one of Australia’s most iconic and physically demanding trails.
A film about surrounding yourself with the right community, The only hurdles in front of us are ourselves, and Running Out can teach us something
LIVING ON THE LINE
Runtime: 12 minutes
Protagonists: Anna Romanov, Kat Horton
Director: Sara Ehrlich
Country: Australia
‘Living on the Line’ follows the journey of Anna, Kat and a group of inspiring women as they take part in one of Australia’s first big ‘all women’ highline gatherings. We witness their struggles as they confront and conquer their fears in high winds, pushing themselves to the limit. The film gives an insight into the unique world of highlining – exploring the close Sydney community, physical and psychological components and misconceptions of the sport. It delves into how the world of outdoor adventure sport has transformed for women over the years and the deeper and more personal motivations for chasing this adventurous ‘life on the line’.
LIKE A GIRL
Runtime: 10 minutes
Protagonists: Various
Director: Molly Stark-Ragsdale
Country: United States
"Like a Girl" follows a group of five girls (ages 9-15) as they navigate ski slopes, mountain bike trails, whitewater, and the growing pains of youth. While the traditionally male dominated world of outdoor sports tends to focus on expertise at its extreme, these girls get to the heart of why we find the world of outdoor sports so appealing in the first place.
“MILLION” With MARGAUX ELLIOTT
Runtime: 5 minutes
Protagonist: Margaux Elliott
Director: Satchel Cronk
Country: United States
In 2020, Margaux Elliott became the first woman to climb one million vertical feet in a year on a mountain bike, while working full-time. In a year filled with an exceedingly high rate of plot twists and unexpected circumstances, this is the equivalent of “Everesting” more than 34 times or riding the complete Tour de France route (on dirt) every other month.
In this short film, Margaux discusses how she came up with the idea, how this goal has challenged and changed her personally, and how she is using this feat to inspire others to find and achieve their own big goals.
I JUST WENT FOR A SWIM

MOUNTAIN ADVENTURE: OUT OF BOUNDS
Runtime: 43 minutes
Protagonist: Torah Bright
Director: Caspar Mazzotti
Country: Antarctica, United States
Mountains tower above the plains and dominate the skyline. Critical to life – they fill our rivers, sway the weather, and provide sanctuary to incredibly diverse wildlife. They are as beautiful as they are dangerous – and for a brave few, they are the source of incredible adventure.
Follow Olympian Torah Bright as she journeys through the world’s longest chain of mountain ranges extending from Antarctica all the way to Alaska. Along the journey, Torah will ride with backcountry legend Jeremy Jones and freeskiing superstar Sammy Carlson. Together, they will encounter penguins, polar bears, and other wildlife, and meet with scientists and environmentalists to uncover a deeper understanding of our mountain ecosystems.
SIBLING RIVALRY
Runtime: 4 mins
Director: Becky Gardner
Country: USA
Racing bikes can be competitive, but it's nothing compared to a fierce rivalry between siblings. Racing lasts a day, weekend or season at most, while sibling rivalry lasts a lifetime. Rivalry ensures that no matter how hard you push it or what you achieve, there's always somebody at the finish line with a scheme to one-up you and claim superiority. In a world of sibling rivalry, your time is never fast enough, nor will you ever air far enough. The goal is to remain friends at the end of the day, but even that isn’t a hard rule and exceptions are made when a win is on the line. Ryan and Becky Gardner are no strangers to some friendly competition, as their sibling rivalry pushes them to ride faster and achieve more both on and off the bike. No matter the sport or challenge, no one is safe when a full-on Gardner vs. Gardner competition unfolds.
