"Aptly titled Made By Mountains, the film promises "an ethereal and visual journey into the inspirational and transformative power of a life of adventure in the mountains." Created by filmmaker Blake Jorgenson, Made By Mountains feels like a breath of fresh air; a reminder of what makes a life built around the mountains so meaningful in the first place. Rather than treating terrain as a backdrop, the film positions it as an active force-something that shapes identity, perspective, and the relationships formed within it."
"For some, the mountains are simply a place. For many riders, they are far more than that. They are a source of community, camaraderie, shared experience, and personal significance-things people often spend their entire lives searching for. Within these vast, rugged landscapes, we find ourselves. Having been formed over millions of years, even a lifetime of adventure and dedication to us is merely a blip on their massive geological timescale, creating a powerful dynamic between people and place."
Made By Mountains is a visually driven film that explores how mountain environments actively shape identity, perspective, and relationships. Blake Jorgenson created the project and it features riders Graham Agassiz, Matt Hunter, Matty Miles, and Lucy Van Eesteren. The film frames mountains as sources of community, camaraderie, shared experience, and personal significance rather than mere backdrops. It contrasts human lifetimes with geological timescales to emphasize the mountains' enduring presence and influence. The film aims to capture cultural impact and lifelong dedication through ethereal imagery and narrative centered on British Columbia's mountain-riding culture.
