Lucid Visual Media and 2R Productions partnered with Sports On Earth to produce a series of short documentary films in 2014. The films center around on underdog stories with unique characters and unexpected results.

THE FINISH LINE was named a Webby Awards Honoree in April 2015. The film examines the inspiring journey of Bill Iffrig, the 78-year-old runner whose image became iconic when he fell 20 feet from the finish line at the 2013 Boston Marathon bombings.

Thank you to the Webby judges and everyone who watched and voted. We loved creating these films alongside our amazing crew and production partners. Our team is thrilled to have our work recognized again this year by the Webby Awards, the Internet’s highest honor!

Our first short Sports on Earth documentary, MR. IRRELEVANT, was named a Webby Awards Honoree in 2014. Our independent feature documentary SONICSGATE won the Webby Award for Best Sports Film in 2010.

Our new feature documentary EVERGREEN: THE ROAD TO LEGALIZATION IN WASHINGTON made its World Premiere at the Seattle International Film Festival (SIFF) on June 6 with an Encore Screening on June 8! The reviews are starting to roll in, and we couldn’t be happier with how the final cut was received by a packed crowd. SIFF has named EVERGREEN as one of the Top Ten Documentaries at the 2013 festival. We’re honored to be included. Thanks to everyone who worked hard to finish this project, the I-502 issue will be pushed forward and hopefully reach the national stage. We’re working hard to get a wide distribution deal for this film now.

As an associate producer of the film, we’re excited that K2: SIREN OF THE HIMALAYAS will make its U.S. Premiere at Mountainfilm in Telluride on Memorial Day Weekend 2013! See the official press release for more details and check out the festival at mountainfilm.org.
