It all started with a dream and a chinky dinky camcorder at the age of seven. For real; that’s how it all started. For over a decade now I’ve been videotaping, capturing, shooting and editing anything and everything I could get my hands on to. I crave adventure and capturing the beauty of adventure.
As a published author, creative director of three documentaries, two of which that have placed in international film festivals and lastly as a girl simply with a vision, I hope to continue to raise the bar when it comes to creating. You can choose to pursue the things that set your soul on fire; I’m living proof; the only limits are the ones you give yourself.
Camera in my hand, backpack on my back, art on my mind. Creating is what I love and live to do; What started out as a simple kid with a dream to capture whatever I could get my hands on turned into filming videos as my school presentations and then that turned into fast paced hype camp recap videos. From there, my senior year of high school I took a trade school class in digital media arts to hone my skills and the rest I learned from youtube creators who inspired me. After graduation I got back on the road, became a seasonal worker for a camp as their media editor and creator, and then I went freelance. Shot some weddings, did some ad promos. But I craved adventure so I continued full time as a van-life freelance creator and pursued working on chasing Goliath my first ever documentary about rock climbing. From there I went to Alaska, a state so grand and full of beauty, and pursued my second documentary about dog sledding and a retired Iditarod musher and then the following year on a 2am whim I applied for a job as a media creator for a dog camp on a glacier in Alaska. Forty eight hours later I had the job and within two weeks I was on a plane back to Alaska.
The adventure never ends with me, but I will be honest, it’s scary at times carving your own path especially as a nomadic creator. But it’s also soul satisfying to find yourself in places you’d never imagined because you had the courage to carve your own path. If things were always easy then you wouldn’t grow and as a creator I want to grow, I want to encourage you to grow.
My content is for those who want their life to be full of adventure and who want to live each day to the fullest with no regrets. I want to inspire adventure and creative growth with all that I do. So if this excites you and motivates you then You’ve found the girl for the job.
So lets begin. Together, as friends. Let’s start the adventure between us.
Sincerely, your next adventure buddy,
Destiny Finn
