The Trembling Giant is a feature-length film inspired by the beauty of elk camp, the passion for hunting in the rugged Rocky Mountains, and the unique connection between man, animal and nature. The concept for the film formed as a team from Danner joined an elk hunt with Winterhawk Outfitters in Colorado’s Flat Top Wilderness more than two years ago. They followed a father and daughter on the daughter’s first-ever elk hunt and witnessed the experience of a lifetime as she shot her first mature bull elk.
“While our team navigated the side of a 12,000-foot mountain and traveled the four-hour horseback ride to base camp, a full moon wrapped the Rocky Mountains in the most stunning light,” said Haven Anderson, Creative Director for Danner Boots. “The film came to life at that very moment, when the elk we were packing out faded from our thoughts and the beauty that surrounded flooded in. We wanted to create a film that captured that moment – a piece that is more than just about harvesting a mature bull and instead sharing how any hunt, no matter if you fill your tag or not, is a successful one.”
The majority of The Trembling Giant was shot by a nimble three-man crew that spent more than a month in the backcountry of the Rocky Mountains. They followed three hunting groups— a team of athletes, a team of old timers and a father and daughter duo—each trying to call in a mature bull. The film crew climbed and descended thousands of miles in elevation each day to capture a variety of footage while not hindering the success of any hunt and respecting the pristine wilderness and wildlife.
