Overview
My name is Hélène Dumais, and I am one of these crazy ultra endurance runners. I am also an adventurer, running coach, and speaker. My mission is to inspire and empower people to accomplish big things for themselves. How? By walking the talk, sharing and teaching. By making this documentary film, I create an opportunity for some to share, and others to learn, get inspired and be empowered to face obstacles in their own life. It is my way to show people how to make the impossible possible.

A huge thank you to all our backers! In this first phase of the documentary project, the pre-production and the actual 10-day race filming phase, we reached $3333 of our $8888 ultimate goal!  We created a new campaign for the post-production phase.  Check it out!

Film Summary

Facing Infinitus explores the unique motivations of people inexorably drawn to a race deliberately designed to break competitors both mentally and physically.  Every mile takes us a step closer to understanding why these runners have committed themselves to more than just an ultramarathon. This documentary reveals that sometimes it takes such an event to prove we can overcome our fears, push our limits, and commit to something bigger than ourselves in racing and in life. This is the story of ordinary people with extraordinary spirit.  Everybody has their own race to run. When you support Facing Infinitus, you will join a movement that is dedicated to empowering people to overcome obstacles in life.

What We Need

I have the privilege to have met Micah Ness from Silverline Films, an amazing adventure videographer. He is able to follow athletes on the course and capture the most vivid moments of each runner’s journey, along with the beauty of the outdoor where the race occurs.

The $8888 we are raising will be use to cover:

  • Silverline Films fees for their trustworthy services:

-Pre production: interviews, shooting during training and prepping for this race.

- Production: 10 days non-stop of shooting during the event.

- Post production: The creation of an inspiring and compelling end product, involving lot of hours of editing.

- Travel, lodging, and food expenses for Micah Ness from Silverline Films. Don't let him starve! ;)

  • The cost involved for me to run this event: entry fee, travel, lodging, 10 days worth of food for the race (I will burn 10 000kcal per day), race gear, etc.
  • Film’s promotional tools like website and business cards.
