Born from my own obsession with ultra endurance, this is a passion project built in the purest form of independent documentary filmmaking.
Ultra endurance sports are exploding in popularity. But beyond the races, medals, and finish lines exists another world entirely. A world occupied by a rare breed of athlete chasing something far bigger than organised competition.
Welcome to the world of the ‘Fastest Known Time’ (FKT).
Producing a film in this space is guerrilla filmmaking at its most unforgiving: limited budgets & a tiny crew and a story that unfolds across some of Cornwalls most remote costal trails, and taking place over 36 continuous hours.
Capturing Mike’s challenge an endurance event in itself.
Directed & Edited by Tom Wharton.
