When nature filmmaker Tristan Bayer sets one of his prints on a mantel — a peaceful shot of a group sitting around a campfire at night — a scene from a year prior jumps into the room. Taken from perhaps 10 feet away, all the people glow orange inside the night. You feel the warmth just looking at it.
Bayer shot it in August 2007 on a beach in Mexico during a Masses surfing trip. For the dozen or so there … it was a spur-of-the-moment respite, a motivator, a sort of commitment ceremony and understanding that the company Heath had decided to finance 10 months prior was more than just a company.
“Heath just kind of came in one day and said, ‘Let’s get an RV and go to Mexico,’” recounts Sara Cline. “I said, ‘Heath, we have a company to run, and those are working days.’ And he said, ‘But it’s our company, and we can do whatever we want.’”
Life inspires art. Art inspires life. Tristan Bayer is multifaceted artist who works in film, television, and multi-media as a producer / director / cinematographer / photographer / editor / writer and host working around the world.
