I met Russ two days before the 2024 Euros with a simple question: do you want to follow a guy running to every England game. Four weeks later, we’d crossed Germany on foot, building a real time story across social as the miles stacked up and the crowds grew.
That project became the launch point for a much bigger journey. In New Zealand, I joined Russ and the crew on a 10 week, 3,000km run along the Te Araroa Trail, shaping the wider YouTube narrative through on the ground filming, live social edits, and a standalone long form episode cut on the road. The series blends cinematic storytelling with the raw reality of endurance, tracking the mental and physical cost of pushing the body across an entire country.
