HIKING DOCUMENTARY OF THE YEAR
Reactions from around the globe!
Jason Nolan, Irish thru hiker
One of the best hiking videos I’ve seen, if not the best. Brutally honest and heartbreaking. The CDT doesn’t forgive. You did a great job, so proud of you.
Marin Bukljaš, member of the Dijana Klarić Award jury
The guy simply knows how to make a travel documentary! Everything is in its place: the shot selection, a smoothly flowing and gripping narrative, music that hits every emotion, intriguing supporting characters, and the ending is as touching as in all of his works. Beautiful shots, plenty of emotion, and a great story – a solid ten!
Maja Šimleša, translator and writer
The music is a sensation, you absolutely nailed that part. Respect! The narrator's voice, as well as the content of the narration, is excellent. The drone shots are sensational, giving you goosebumps. But I also liked the other cameras, everything just clicked - professional shots combined with handheld selfie shots create a dynamic feel. Respect for the editing and for wrapping up the story.
Tajana Riley, Zagreb
Wonderful, brave, daring, hearty, human and superhuman. The film really conveyed every emotion, blisters, heat, thirst, frostbite... and above all... love. It moves us and hurts us, but we wouldn't be the same without it. Cruelly beautiful, tactile and aromatic film.
Collyn “Doc” Nielsen, Host of The John Freakin’ Muir Pod
Powerful documentary that offers a raw and unapologetic look at the true nature of a thru hike on the Continental Divide Trail. Filmmaker Nikola "Tesla" Horvat takes viewers on a journey through the reality of the trail, offering an unflinching look at the hardships and dangers that hikers face along the way.
The cinematography in the documentary is stunning, capturing the rugged beauty of the trail as well as the exhaustion and pain of the hikers. The shots of the vast, sweeping landscapes and towering mountains are breathtaking, and they provide a vivid backdrop for the struggles of the hikers. The music also adds to the film's emotional impact, with a powerful score that heightens the tension and drama of the story.
Tomica Kristić, writer and world traveller
​I enjoyed every minute. The documentary is top notch, very high quality in production and very dynamic in terms of content. He definitely deserves to be heard about, and not only in Europe, but further afield. A job worthy of great respect.
