THE CLIMB BEGINS

Project:Personal Year: 2023 Role: Filmmaker & editor

I filmed a personal project capturing the breathtaking experience of cycling up alpe d’huez, one of the world’s most iconic climbs.
The film weaves together the raw intensity of the ride with the stunning natural beauty of the french alps. from the grueling switchbacks to the triumphant summit, every frame tells a story of perseverance, passion, and the thrill of pushing oneself to the limit.

This project is as much about the physical journey as it is about the mental and emotional challenges involved in conquering such a legendary ascent—a true test of willpower and resilience.
