“I want to show the world I can do it. I want to show women who look like me that they can do it, too."

-Lhakpa Sherpa

Overview

Most people haven’t heard of Lhakpa Sherpa and that’s the point of this campaign. 

Everyone needs to. 

Lhakpa is more than ready to bring her story to the world. She hopes to inspire other women like her— immigrants, mothers, survivors— anyone with a dream for a better life.

We were born out of a love of production. As a Female founded, owned and operated company, our documentary work strives to raise the voices of those underrepresented in the media. We’ve shot diverse work from female-driven national campaigns to call to actions for saving public land and inspiring people to join the women’s march. Our work features people and stories from all walks of life as demonstrated in our first three documentaries, Given and A Film about Coffee and Still KD. We believe there are stories to be told in the most unassuming places and that every story deserves to be shown in the most beautiful light. In the past eight years we have shot in 34 countries spanning every inhabited continent and every imaginable circumstance. But we don’t just seek to capture the beauty of adventure, we love to tell stories. We’re always looking for new ways to engage our audience, to not just get their nod of approval but to spark their curiosity and involve them in the intricacies of each particular story.
