IRONSPINE – Official Short Film
I'm proud to release IRONSPINE, a short film that documents the journey of Dr. Grigoriy Arutyunyan, a spinal surgeon, as he takes on the Ironman triathlon. His relentless focus, discipline, and resilience throughout this process were truly inspiring. It was an honor to capture his story, and I’m excited to share it with you.
I had the privilege of creative directing, editing, and serving as the lead camera throughout this project. Telling this story from behind the lens to the final cut has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my career.
Special thanks to NYCadsco for bringing me onto this project and making it all possible. And a huge thank you to Patrick Downer, who worked as both camera assistant and drone operator, his contributions were essential to the final product.
Location & Day: Saturday 19 September, US Cambridge, Maryland, United States
Shot mainly on Sony A7SIII
