For my final project as an intern at Camp4 Collective, I followed speed climber Zach Hammer, the youngest speed climber to qualify in the 2024 Paris Olympics, in the last few weeks of his training leading up to the games.
After weeks of getting to know him, filming him train, and meeting those around him, I built this 4-minute portrait demonstrating the hard work that led up to this pivotal point in his career and released it on social media the day before his Olympic debut.
A huge thanks goes out to Zach Hammer, the Hammer Family, Tim Kemple, and the entire Camp4 Crew.
