Free to Run

Carrie is the owner and director at Dream Lens Media, a company she started with her husband after her stint as a reporter, producer and anchor at an award winning broadcast news station. She puts her journalism background to work producing and directing stories at the intersection of human justice and outdoor adventure. While you’ll find her researching story concepts and building out all the pre production elements of the films she directs, she’s just as passionate about running through the mountains with a camera in hand. She’s worked with some of the top ultra runners in the world creating films for brands like The North Face and Outside TV. Her short films for Outside TV contributed to the series earning a Sports Emmy nomination in 2021. Her mission and vision through film is to create content that moves viewers to action.

From their Outside TV short films to their work with Free to Run for The North Face, Tim pours his creative and calculated mind into each film project. Together, Tim and Carrie live and breathe their film projects and carry their passion to make a difference through film into each project they work on.
