I’ve been working with Red Bull for over four years, on the Australian Open, Formula 1, Listen Out and some of the biggest events in the country. Winter Vibes was a new one: a one-day party right at the top of Mt Buller to kick off the 2026 ski season.

The film had three jobs: recap the day, sell the experience and get people hyped for the next one. I went the storytelling route. It sets the scene with the mountain first, brings in a bit of skiing and snowboarding for that Red Bull edge, then hammers home the party and what Mt Buller and Red Bull built together.

It was a one-man crew, so I directed, shot and edited the lot, running around all day. The hardest part was getting my gear to the top, a solid hike up through the snow. Last time I was at the snow I wore Vans. This time I came prepared with snow boots, just not with the muscles to carry everything up.

It was worth the climb. Golden hour up there, with snow in every direction, was something else. I also left a timelapse running into the mountains for about an hour and caught the snow and wind rolling over the peaks.

Red Bull loved it, and it led straight into the next job with them, Spot Check.
