Who are we and how can we help you get the best high-altitude content?

Nimsdai Purja is the world record-breaking mountaineer famous for summiting all 14 of the world’s ‘Death Zone’ Peaks over 8,000m in just six months and six days. Together with a team of ten Nepalese climbers he also made history as part of the first team to ever stand on the top of K2 in Winter.

His extraordinary story is the subject of the hit Netflix documentary 14 Peaks: Nothing is Impossible. Nimsdai and his team filmed more than 100 hours of footage to capture the entire adventure. The stunning results speak for themselves – the 14 peaks were captured like never before on film in stunning HD cinematic quality. It is this level of skill and experience that Nimsdai and his team can bring to your filming project.

Filming 14 Peaks: Nothing Is Impossible

Shot across more than a year, battling extreme weather, climbing while filming with a drone and using handheld cameras, the behind-the-scenes story of Nimsdai’s 14 Peaks is as fascinating and ambitious as the film itself. Together Nimsdai and his team captured more than 100 hours of footage, which were then ‘brought to life’ over the next 18 months by director Torquil Jones.

Stage one of the project – which included Annapurna, Dhaulagiri, Everest, Lhotse, Makalu and Kanchenjunga - was shot on handheld cameras and portable mounted personal cameras.

On some mountains, Nims had to climb while flying the drone at the same time, because otherwise, if he stopped to film the guys, he would be so far behind. He had to literally climb while operating the drone. He even flew the drones as he was climbing Kinshofer Wall on Nanga Parbat. On Dhaulagiri they got the footage you see at the start of the trailer where they are in some extreme weather – 60 to 70 kmph wind speeds.
