Rising Up was a self-funded documentary to support Jack Ultracyclist's philanthropic 2022 Mission. Alex and Nik joined forces with Jack to conceive his ambitious objective of scaling 1 million metres of elevation throughout the year. We dubbed the endeavour '1,000,000: A Space Odyssey' and hailed Jack as the first cyclist in space due to the cumulative height he aimed to conquer. Simultaneously, while achieving this feat, Jack also aimed to raise funds for three global mental health charities. In order to support Jack's mission and contribute to the promotion of nonprofit organisations of this nature, we willingly provided our creative services pro bono.
