Our films have screened hundreds of times on 3 continents from North America to Antarctica and have helped raise over $4 million in critical funding and awareness for important causes. We also help capture and tell stories via photography, live streaming, and more. We are based in Denver, Colorado, but can nimbly work all over the world.
Logline: In this adventure vignette, we get a look behind the scenes into the often invisible world of avalanche control and avalanche professionals. The story follows Roz Reynolds, an “avalanche hunter” and certified badass, who is not only blazing trails in her field and keeping the public safe in the mountains, but also laying first tracks on backcountry slopes, on the USA Ice Climbing team, and more.
Runtime: 11.5 minutes

At Wool Hat Creative, we take pride in our work and in the team members putting their creativity into action. That is why we are excited to highlight a project by our Communications and Outreach Intern, Jack Yates. Titled “Melting Opportunities,” this interactive website serves as the thesis project for his master’s degree in Media in Public Engagement from the University of Colorado Boulder.
Happy Earth Day friends! Earth Day might be our favorite holiday here at Wool Hat Creative, but really, every day should be Earth Day in our humble opinion. As a media production company, we are dedicated to protecting this planet we call home through stories, film and video, our photography, through our personal actions, through our choice of partnerships and clients, and more.
Throughout March we have been posting on Instagram about some exceptional womxn that we’ve worked with throughout the years in our film and video projects who are making real differences in the world. For us, every day is women’s day and every month is women’s month. Women should rule world. Full stop. When that happens the world will be a better place.
As you may have seen all about in our previous post, our short film, The Avalanche Hunter, is in the Backcountry Film Festival!
We recommend that you check the festival’s tour schedule, but if you don’t see a screening near you there, check the list and map below!
For this project, Wool Hat has teamed up with Howl at the Sun and others to produce a short, not-for-profit, adventure documentary titled “The Avalanche Hunter”. In this film, Roz Reynolds, a winter adventurer and badass avalanche mitigation expert (aka avalanche hunter) blazes trails in her field and paves the way for future generations of women in outdoor adventure and safety.
This short educational documentary follows the intrepid Snow Rangers of Southwest Colorado as they navigate the sweepingly beautiful, and often dangerous, world of the Rocky Mountains, backcountry ski up (and down) mountains, and manage the impacts of rapidly burgeoning winter recreation in the wilderness.
