the frontier awaits…

When Pitt River Lodge approached us to film a location sizzle reel for them to showcase their properties and amenities to prospective filmmakers, we knew exactly where to start. We’ve filmed many times near and around their lodges, having shot much of our feature film The Founder Effect at their upper lodge location. The reel was thusly able to incorporate actual footage from that film to help show how the locations could be utilized cinematically. We also incorporated some footage from previously shot location reels they had filmed for their tourism operations. The combined piece is mainly intended for internal usage by the Pitt River team as they discuss film projects with parties interested in using their expansive locations.

The end result is cinematic journey that allows the viewer to imagine myriad filmmaking possibilities. It’s an engaging and inviting video that stokes imagination and intrigue. Pitt River Lodge has already played home to many film and television projects, and this location reel seeks to bring in even more film projects to the area.
