Our Judges say:
It’s wonderful to be taken on Nick’s journey having followed his social media whilst bagging the munros, and to hear so much about the touching reasons behind the challenge.Frit Tam
Such a beautiful and delicate film. The film makers have managed to echo Nick's speed of living and thoughtfulness. He is more than inspirational. His personal characteristics are the complete antithesis of the ego-maniacal leaders we have in the world.Simon Taylor
Filmed over four years, The Oldest Munro Bagger follows 80 year-old Nick Gardner as he attempts to complete all 282 of Scotland's Munros in the wake of his beloved wife's dementia diagnosis. An uplifting story of resilience, hope and love for the mountains, it documents the emotional highs & lows, and the physical & psychological challenges he encounters along the way. A moving, authentic story of enduring love and growth, told against the breathtaking backdrop of the Scottish Highlands.
Sustainability Notes:
The making of the film had an incredibly small footprint, primarily filmed as a solo production. While car transport was required due to the remoteness of the locations, journeys were shared where possible. It was an entirely self funded film so by necessity it was small scale/small footprint.
