The Stirling Completion

Sometime in 2023, Jake Reid reached out to me with an idea for a film he wanted to make. I said ‘heck yeah, let’s do it!’ not quite understanding just what he had in mind.

The Stirling Completion, is a hike that was created by Jake and it consists of climbing every single peak in the Stirling Ranges and also walking the distance between each mountain. With a total distance of 110km over roughly 36 hours, it was a truly mammoth achievement.

I had the pleasure of being able to put together a short film documenting the attempt. It involved climbing two of the peaks alongside Jake, as well as travelling in the support vehicle to help him and get the shots we needed.

Jake premiered this film at the launch of his business called ‘Endless Parks’ to an audience of over 100.

We were both pretty proud of what we managed to put together, especially considering it was the first time I had made a film like this before.
