A Guide’s Book

A Guide’s Book is a cinematic exploration of what it truly means to lead others safely through the high alpine. Set in Chamonix, the mountaineering capital of Europe, the film follows a young guide whose quiet discipline and deep respect for the mountains reveal the unseen side of adventure—the preparation, risk assessment, and decision-making that happen long before a rope is ever tied in.
Through breathtaking visuals and intimate moments, the film contrasts the beauty and danger of the alpine world with the meticulous preparation required to move through it safely. It offers a rare glimpse into the invisible work that allows others to experience the mountains’ majesty, while examining the mindset of those who dedicate their lives to protecting and guiding others in these extreme environments.
Ultimately, A Guide’s Book is a meditation on knowledge, humility, and the responsibility of leadership—a story about what it takes to truly know the mountains, and to help others find their way through them.
