AN HOMAGE TO grit, perseverance, and the steadfast commitment to forging one’s own path

Westland Distilling and Filson approached us to craft a series of films around the story of Coldfoot, part of a larger collaborative storytelling and specialty distilling project between the two brands. In 1897, two thousand hardy fortune seekers broke from the stampede to Dawson and followed their own lonely trail 175 miles above the arctic circle to remote Coldfoot, Alaska. Only 200 held on to stake their claim. For Westland and Filson, these determined few represent grit, perseverance, and the steadfast commitment to forging one’s own path into the great unknown. Filming on location in remote Alaska, we can attest that the spirit is still alive.
