Caution Media started as a group of friends who shared a love for the outdoors, snow, and skiing. What began as making films with talented athletes we were lucky enough to call friends quickly grew into something more.

A collection of efforts
Josh and Ollie met while studying film at Colorado College and turned that love toward the mountains. After countless days keeping camera gear dry, hiking for one more angle, and chasing shots that excited the people around us as much as they excited us, we knew we had found something special.
Over time, the work grew beyond skiing. Today it spans creative ski films, documentaries, and commercial projects. The goal stays the same: tell a story worth telling and make something we're proud of.
As much as we love the filmmaking and the people we meet along the way, our favorite part is sharing the work. Whether it's a film festival, a community screening, or a tour stop, watching it land with a room full of people never gets old.
Cheers, and thanks for checking us out.
