Born in the mountains of British Columbia, Anthill Films is a collaborative team of visual storytellers push physical and technical boundaries to create films that inspire a way of life. That mission has taken us around the globe — from forgotten trails in the remote mountains of Afghanistan to the traffic-snarled streets of New York City.

Along the way, we’ve had the privilege of capturing some of mountain biking’s most unforgettable moments, working alongside the legends who’ve shaped the sport and the next generation pushing it forward. What started with basement edits and sketchy cable cams has grown into 20+ years of award-winning films, global tours, and millions of inspired riders world-wide

Tell us about your Telly Award winning piece. What’s the story behind it?

Anytime is an action sports documentary that delves into the world of mountain biking through authentic storytelling and breathtaking visuals. Created by Anthill Films in collaboration with Red Bull Media House, the film highlights the skill and dedication of world-class cycling athletes and the diverse environments they ride in.

What are you most proud of about this piece? What was your biggest challenge during production and how did you solve it?

The production of Anytime required navigating a wide array of environmental and logistical obstacles. From remote alpine peaks and dense forests to the urban streets of Guanajuato, Mexico, the crew faced constantly shifting weather conditions and rugged terrain. In Baños Morales, Chile, for example, limited helicopter access restricted filming to brief windows at sunrise and sunset, requiring meticulous planning to make the most of each session at altitudes as high as 15,000 feet in the Andes.

The human element of the story added another layer of complexity. During a sunrise shoot in Chile, a downhill sequence took an unexpected turn when one of the riders suffered a serious injury—a broken pelvis. This incident brought filming to a temporary halt, shifting the team’s focus to safety and care while highlighting the inherent risks of mountain biking and the unpredictable nature of documenting real-life performances.

Do you have any advice to other filmmakers based on your career or your team’s approach to work?

Its not always linear. Keep pushing boundaries.

Can you share a behind the scenes story or fun fact about the making of your piece?

Anytime is a testament to collaboration, preparation, and problem-solving. It reflects what’s possible when a dedicated team combines technical expertise with a profound passion for storytelling
