Directed by Joel Guelzo, BEYOND THE TREE LINE was produced by Guelzo, Josh Sutton, Cassie Sutton, and Nick Greene.

“Sifting through 150 hours of film footage to create Beyond The Tree Line was no small feat,” said filmmaker Joel Guelzo. “Through the eyes of Josh, Cassie, and the endearing Little Man Harvey, this documentary captures not just their physical challenges, but the emotional and psychological impact of their 2,200-mile, seven-month journey along the Appalachian Trail. Beyond The Tree Line is an exploration of the immersive power of nature.

Freestyle Digital Media negotiated the deal to acquire Beyond The Tree Line directly with Ryan Bury of MPX-Motion Picture Exchange.
