Filmed by an Alaska expedition crew with 20 years of remote backcountry access. Ideal for Alaska travel brands, national park tourism, documentary producers, and expedition companies.

3 AM. For six months, people tried to talk me out of this.
The road is closed. It's too difficult.

You'll never get a crew out there.
It's impossible.

Growing up as a filmmaker in Alaska, the locals taught me one thing:
nothing is impossible.

In Denali, when you show up with cameras, she shows you why it all matters.

The sun is rising. We're pressing play on the impossible.

That's the WABU way.

Alaska Situation

Alaska is the most competitive cruise market in the world. Every major line is fighting for the same passenger — and the same attention.

Princess Cruises needed more than great footage. They needed a content system that could defend category leadership across every channel simultaneously — paid media, broadcast, digital, social, CRM, and in-destination — while translating that attention into measurable demand.

A one-off campaign wouldn't move the needle. What Princess needed was a repeatable story engine — one that could produce category-leading creative at volume, maintain brand coherence across a fragmented media landscape, and connect emotionally with passengers at every stage of the decision journey. The answer was the Pursuits Series.

Navigate. Glacier landings. Denali hiking. The Alaska Railroad. Remote lodges. Native culture. Each film a standalone story. Together, a system — giving Princess the depth of content to reach every passenger type, across every channel, at every moment in the purchase journey.
