A BOLD JOURNEY
A Bold Journey follows the unique path of Northern California resident Tom Bold who has been leading hikes and unique adventures for decades. I've hiked with Tom and admire his longevity, incredible resilience, love of nature and ability to bring people together. A consummate storyteller in his own right I was inspired to share his personal story and humbled that he agreed. My intention for audiences is to feel inspired by Tom's unique life choices and love of nature which compelled me to share his story. Thanks Top Shorts Film Festival for the shout out. https://www.topshorts.net/post/the-semi-finalists-july-2024
