Ethan Schalekamp

As a filmmaker, photographer, and director, my drive is to bring art and storytelling to unique, purpose driven communities. This path has led me to produce various films about ultra runners, climbers, environmental artists, metal workers, bobsledders, powerlifters, and surfers.

In my life until now, art and sport have brought me the most purpose, depth of experience, and joy. It’s from a place of connection and aspiration that we bring Cloudsplitter to life, a new production company for artists and athletes, by artists and athletes.

Movement and momentum flow through me, I am a creature of perpetual motion that is learning to find the peace in stillness, the joy of quiet moments. As a photographer, writer, and creative director I find those moments of perfect clarity amidst the blur of motion through forest and mountain and sea.

The passion for still photography and creating stories led me to finding a creative partner in Ethan.

I seek the finite moments where creative storytelling, nature, sport all collide into something beautiful.
