Director Statement

I’ve been a climber for many years and came across Memphis Rox and knew that I needed to experience it in person. When the opportunity arose to craft a story with them, I jumped at it. This project was such an honor. Memphis Rox embraced our small team and treated us like family. I feel graced to have gotten to work with the amazing people there and to now be part of the Rox family. 

2025 brought a devastating occurrence that has changed the trajectory of our film. and of the entire Rox community. Jarmond Johnson the film's main subject and a deeply loved figure in the Memphis Rox community was shot and killed on June 29th while doing the work he loved, serving the people he loved. The whole community has been rocked by it, but has responded with resilience and positive action. Our greatest hope for Your Last Best is that it will inspire people to visit and become ongoing supporters of Rox and all that it brings to the community of South Memphis. It is truly an extraordinary place filled with extraordinary people!
