Our short film, “Shattered” won at the International Motion Arts Awards and we couldn’t be happier. Following the film’s success as one of the top 39 films at the AI-AP, Motion Arts Pro Daily writer David Schonauer highlighted our short film. Read the excerpt below and thanks to David for the accolades!
“Tyler Stableford has earned a reputation as one of the world’s top action-sports photographers and recently has emerged as one of the world’s top action-sports cinematographers and film directors. His innovative and daring motion work is distinguished not only by its beauty and drama—man’s need to test himself against nature is a theme that runs throughout Stableford’s videos—but also by its emotional authenticity.
