Harlan Taney has made a life of adventuring around the globe. For the last 18 years, Harlan has spent his summers as a Grand Canyon river guide, completing approximately 160 trips down the river. Many of these trips involved scientific research and studies of the cultural and natural history of the Colorado River River. As owner and operator of 4 Corner Film Logistics, Harlan has managed productions for National Geographic, NBC, and the BBC. He has created a niche in the Outdoor/Adventure film industry by developing innovative solutions for film projects in one of the world’s most remote locations. Harlan’s recent projects include The Weight of Water where he worked with blind adventurer Erik Weihenmayer, to produce and document an 18-day kayaking trip with Weihenmayer down the Grand Canyon. He also ran logistics for BBC Grand Canyon, a 21-day re-creation of the 1869 John Wesley Powell expedition down the Colorado River in the Canyon. Harlan lives in Flagstaff with his two young daughters, raising them in the same active outdoor lifestyle that he embodies.
Blake McCord is a director and principal cinematographer for Sandcast Media. Blake’s work has been honored at numerous film festivals. Most recently, the Banff Mountain Film Festival and Kendal Mountain Festival recognized They/Them as Best Climbing Film. As a DP, Blake sees his job as an opportunity to take an audience on a visual journey that elevates the larger storytelling effort. Reviewing Omen, a dance film where Blake served as DP, the New York Times highlighted the visual impact of the film: “Suspended over a cliff face, bouncing off its surface like astronauts on the moon, the dancers disturb a viewer’s sense of gravity…the grandeur calls for a theater-size screen.” Admittedly obsessive about details, Blake has a strong technical competency with both the equipment he uses and the logistics of each shoot. A climber and outdoor athlete, Blake is equally at home shooting from the side of a cliff or the bottom of the Grand Canyon as he is in a studio setting. Blake feels incredibly fortunate to be part of a team bringing meaningful stories to life.
