Hi. My name is Calder Pennie.

I am a filmmaker, video strategist, entrepreneur and proudly addicted to mountain life and all the adventures that come with it.

I started Far Side Films after noticing a disturbing trend across the internet. Our online souls were being sold for engagement.

Humans aren’t meant to interact through TikTok dances, thumbs-up emojis, and negative comments. We’re here to cook extravagant meals, laugh in the park, sleep under stars and share stories that make us feel heard and seen.

That’s why I’ve made it my life’s mission to bring the art of storytelling into every video I make. From social media ads to feature-length documentaries, I start by identifying the core emotions behind your brand and use them to tell real stories that connect with real humans, not bots and algorithms.
