Come join photographer and filmmaker Nick Danielson as he follows Kilian Jornet through the highs and lows of States of Elevation, Kilian’s most ambitious project yet: linking 72 14,000-foot peaks across the United States in 31 days, travelling only by foot and bike.

Rather than telling the story of the athlete alone, this short film explores what it means to document a human-powered journey unfolding in real time across vast distances, shifting weather, and constantly changing plans.

An intimate portrait of the person behind the camera, and the creative instinct required to keep up with the extraordinary.

This film is released in anticipation of the official States of Elevation documentary, currently in production and coming soon.
