A JOURNEY THROUGH SOUTHERN AFRICA’S FORGOTTEN MOUNTAINS There are few roads in Lesotho. There are even fewer mountain bikers. Here the horse is supreme and the myriad horse trails that have been carved through its steep and rugged mountains are its lifeblood. Horsemen ply these trails, just as they have for generations, riding between villages that have remained unchanged over centuries. Amidst this scene frozen in time is Isaac, a twenty-two year old horseman who is bridging the gap between old and new. For a week in April 2017, Isaac – or Leputhing Molapo to use his Basotho name – rode a 180 Kilometre traverse of the mountains of his home country. It was a ride like his father had done before him, but this time he was leading two mountain bikers. Following Isaac were Canadian freerider Kevin Landry and Swiss ex-downhill racer Claudio Caluori, both embarking on a journey that will showcase the beautiful unknown landscapes of this small country. Riding only horse trails, it’s a journey laden with physical challenges for all, but it’s a journey that will cement friendships between a traditional blanket-wearing horseman and two state-of-the-art bike-wielding mountain bikers. For two pioneering mountain bikers this ride is the most adventurous undertaking they have ever made. For one horseman, its a ride that heralds a new dawn. HAVE A GOOD ONE conceived and co-ordinated this unique adventure. In April 2017 they travelled to Lesotho and working with Sky Adventures to provide support and logistics, they set out to document this journey and the unique chapter in Lesotho’s history it represents. Driven by their passion to create a unique film, Tobias Steinigeweg and Maximilian Stolarow shared the rocky trails and high mountain passes and abandoned trading post accommodations with the riders. Following The Horsemen is a film that not only highlights the potential of Lesotho as a new adventure destination, but also provides an invaluable glimpse into its heritage through the country’s iconic horsemen.

In the wake of Katrina, New Orleans’ Lower Ninth Ward was one of the few neighborhoods where relief came slowly. Less than 25% of its pre-Katrina population has returned and many houses have been abandoned or mowed down. As a result, the USDA officially listed the neighborhood as a “food desert”, defined as urban areas without access to affordable food in a five-mile radius. Burnell Cotlon returned to his home neighborhood in 2007 and was dismayed by what he saw. He pleaded with major chain stores to open up in the Ward, but the ongoing reconstruction and slow repopulation kept them away. Cotlon decided he’d open up his own shops and restore the community one small business at a time. He learned carpentry and electrical work through YouTube videos so that he could build all his operations on a budget. To date, he’s opened a grocery store, a market, a barbershop, and a laundromat all in an effort to centralize and revitalize pride for the Ward. http://bit.ly/2sPSLAQ Director: Henry Busby Agency: Tribeca Studios Client: Bai Production Company: Voyager Creative Executive Producer: Andrew Hutcheson Head of Production: David Brickel Producer: Amalia Bradstreet DP: Kelly Jeffrey Steadicam: Chad Chamberlain Drone Operator: Atmosphere Aerial 1st AC: Zachary Kertesz Camera PA: Sophia Stevenson Grip: Justin Crawford Sound Mixer: Tim Connor PA: Toby David Editor: Henry Busby Audio Post: One Thousand Birds Audio Post Producer: Kira MacKnight Sound Mixer: Calvin Pia Original Music: Hyperballad Composer: Jonathan Benedict

The world stands still Yet, my thoughts race forward – Winner of Special Prize for Innovation in Storytelling at World VR Forum 2017, ExStatic combines elements of theatrical stage design, light art, installation, and Quba Michalski’s unique vision for VR spaces, taking the viewer on a surreal journey through thoughts on art, society, culture and technology. Created in a spirit of free flow of concepts and ideas, the spaces of ExStatic represent thoughts racing through the busy mind looking for patterns, connections and new meanings.
