Hydro Flask

Presenting the joy of the outdoors, in all it’s hydrated glory.

Meg has produced 36 films and counting with Portland-based agency North for their client Hydro Flask. The documentary-style films are centered around athletes and artists and the joy they find being in the outdoors. In addition to producing, Meg directed many of the films, while Mark has been the cinematographer and the editor on several of them as well.

Let’s Go! Films are a Hydro Flask series about people and organizations who promote happier and healthier living through the outdoors.

In “Reclaiming Adventure” we join some amazing individuals at different stages in their journey with Adaptive Sports Center intensive programs. From a 79-year old adventurer learning to hike again to a biker who’s been shredding the trails for twenty years on his custom adaptive mountain bike, they show us what it means to reclaim freedom.

Meg produced the film and Mark was the DP and editor. It was directed by NORTH CD, Ashod Simonian.

“Deeper Connections” tells the story of Cal-Wood Education Center in Boulder, Colorado and how they turned a devastating forest fire into an opportunity to teach kids about fire safety and ecology.

Meg produced the film. It was directed by Kristina Day, CD at NORTH, and edited by Mark.

“Roll Models” features Exposure Skate, an organization formed by female pro skateboarders to overcome the lack of inclusivity and access in skateboarding for women of all ages. Their youth outreach program, Skate Rising, not only teaches girls to skate but empowers them to fly.

Meg produced and directed “Roll Models”. Sarah Simka Jaffe was the DP, and Kyle Stebbins edited.

Hydro Flask’s “How We Go” series is all about providing tips and tricks to get you into the great outdoors.

This episode from Hydro Flask’s “How We Go” series features one of the greatest ultra endurance riders of all time, Lael Wilcox, as she shows us how it’s done from packing light to sharing a gas station corndog.

The episode was produced and directed by Meg. Rue Kaladyte was the DP, and Ryan Douglass edited.

This episode of “How We Go” takes us to the Salish Sea in Washington State with kayak guide Sophia Rouches. From packing to paddling, Sophia shows us how to have a great day out on the water.

Everyday people doing extraordinary things outdoors is the inspiration behind the “Why We Go” series. These films showcase unique individuals chasing adventures that allow them to be their best selves.

This episode features Tereari’i, a paddler, activist and native Hawaiian who bears witness to nature’s power all along Oahu’s watershed.

Hydro Flask’s “Art Imitates Life” films showcase artists who are inspired to create by their love of the outdoors. We produced two “Art Imitates Life” films, one featuring Reno-based artist Hannah Eddy, and one featuring Crested Butte artist John Fellows.

Meg was the producer and Mark the DP and editor for both of these films. Kristina Day directed both
and Blake Caudle AD at NORTH created the animation and motion graphics for both films.
