Set in the remote village of Bakhmaro, Georgia, Purpose Free explores the unique phenomenon of the intergenerational relationships that exist in the professional snowboard world. A two-way street—older generations passing down knowledge, culture, and wisdom, while the younger generation inspires upward with new styles, creativity, and attitudes. Together they navigate new territories and risks with a shared passion for what brings them together.

Karel Sabbe spent his childhood summers hiking in the wilderness. An avid explorer of natural environments, he set his mind to setting the fastest known times on the world's most brutal and beautiful trails. From the Pacific Crest to the Appalachian Trail, he's done that. In the summer of 2021, Karel Sabbe ran the Via Alpina in just 30 days, the actual Fastest Known Time. Averaging two marathons on a daily basis, he navigated the route 14 days faster than anybody else. As well as the Alps, Karel overcame sleep deprivation, illness and extreme weather. And he did it all with a camera crew in tow, documenting every step. In this new documentary, Solace, we joined him on what might be his most beautifully brutal adventure yet. Get an unprecedented look at what it takes to achieve a Fastest Known Time. This is the story of Karel's Via Alpina FKT. Directed and shot by Tom Gibbons, produced by HILLTON, edited by Dennis Gnoni Visconti, crisp sound by Kurt Human & Julian Joseph aka Tonverein.ch, scored by Pablo Nouvelle & Shinya Blattmann, coloured by Samuel Muff @ Slaughterhouse Postproduction. With great support and motivation by On Running. www.solacedocumentary.com www.hillton.ch www.tom-gibbons.com https://woodplant.works

General demo reel

Hey fellow filmmakers, I'm reaching out to you for the very first time, and I'm thrilled to share an exciting project that needs your support. Introducing "Fenix Shadows" – a gripping MMA movie that's not just about the fight in the ring, but also the inspiring journey behind it. I can't wait to dive into this project with your help! Let's make something truly extraordinary together.

A short presentation of my video editor and videographer work.

Here's the hype video I made for last week's game using footage I got at the Johnson vs Roosevelt game the week before that. I'm super proud of this video, I feel like I'm learning more about creating a smart smooth workflow when editing, and I think this video is just absolutely beautiful for it. This video in particular was so much fun to make, being in the locker room when the coach gave that speech was exhilarating. Every time all the guys yelled Brotherhood together, the locker room shook, and I felt that force in my chest. It really made me reflect on the Brotherhood and love in my life, as I've been able to witness the football team grow closer and closer together. I'm just so grateful to be able to do this.

Johnson is undefeated after a 38-09 shutout! This game was definitely more difficult than usual since it started at 11am in the Texas heat. I definitely wasn't at my creative best this game in the heat with a rumbling stomach. I also don't have any ND filters that fit my lense (I've been using the 18-150mm that comes with the Canon R7, and since its a crop sensor that can do a 4k crop, it works great), so I had to close my aperture up a lot. My camera didn't overheat though despite being in direct sun for a few hours recording 4k 60 for most of the game. I also think I got my shutter speed down this game, it doesn't look as blurry as when I did 2x. its sharper, and the motion blur still looks pretty fluid. So yeah interesting game, it was definitely a bit wonky but I still got some awesome shots I love (like bro the heat waves in the kick off!?!, or just any of the pre drop stuff).

Game 2, a 47-21 win for Johnson! For this video I was able to get locker room access before the game started and used audio from the head coach's speech. I really like using coach speeches for the videos, I feel like it makes them more personal and have more energy so this one was also super fun. I don't think I did the best job managing the nat sounds from the actual game, but I wanted to highlight the speech more.

First game of the season! Johnson won the game 24-21 with a field goal in the last 5 seconds! It was a really fun game, but I had some troubles getting into the groove when filming, but I think this one turned out beautifully.
