Climber and transracial Asian-American, Cody Kaemmerlen, searches for connection with his birth parents after a near-death fall leaves him shaken and grasping for answers. 


Director - Jon Glassberg

A professional climber for twenty years, Jon has traveled the world climbing rocks and making films. His authentic view of climbing and the Outdoor Industry grew from simple beginnings as a committed climber. Recently his focus has shifted from the rock to the camera as a director who captures the heart and soul of cutting-edge outdoor sports. Jon enjoys hanging from the side of El Capitan capturing free ascents 3000 ft off the valley floor, climbing in the Rocky Mountains, and traveling to the farthest corners of the earth to capture rare moments in outdoor sport. He likes to follow personalities and develop emotional, authentic stories about talented people doing the coolest stuff out there.
