Jason Hardrath and partner Nathan Longhurst embarked on a journey to Mexico's tallest volcano, Pico De Orizaba. Both athletes are accomplished endurance runners and mountaineers with many Fastest Known Time (FKT) accomplishments. The goal is to establish the first international Infinity Loop, which happens to be on one of the Volcanic Seven Summits. It will entail moral dilemmas, character development, the importance of being a good partner in the mountains, and 40+ miles with 20,000 feet of elevation gain, including two summits of Pico De Orizaba at 18,491 feet above sea level.

Apayauq is a documentary following the story of a young Alaskan woman named Apayauq Reitan, who in 2022 became the first openly transgender musher to compete in the Iditarod, a grueling dog sled race that covers more than 1,000 miles through the Alaskan wilderness.

The film explores Apayauq’s journey as a transgender person in a state where discrimination and prejudice against LGBTQ+ individuals are still prevalent. It also showcases the strength, perseverance, and dedication it takes to compete in the Iditarod, a challenging race that tests both the musher and the dogs.

Throughout the film, viewers get a glimpse into Anna's life as a musher, the bond she shares with her sled dogs, and the obstacles she faces on and off the trail while highlighting the supportive community that rallies behind her and the impact of her story on others. Apayauq is a powerful film that sheds light on the struggles and triumphs of the LGBTQ+ community in Alaska and celebrates the courage of individuals who defy societal norms to pursue their dreams.
