Newcomb | First Lite

Solo shot and edited, Newcomb was an incredible story to capture. It was a fast flowing four days of on the ground production with every detail of Clay’s life told in story. The passion and heart of this film brings it to life and finds relatability to the audience on multiple fronts.

Film Description:

Meet Clay Newcomb. Born and raised in Northwest Arkansas, Clay is an Ozark renaissance man: He’s a writer, filmmaker, mule-skinner, hound trainer, artist, conservationist, trad archer, host of the Bear Grease podcast, and MeatEater contributor. His skills and passions as a hunter are diverse: If it walks, crawls or flies in Arkansas, you can be sure Clay’s hunted it. Most importantly he’s a father, husband and one of the most humble and gracious people on the planet who convincingly argues that balancing responsibilities and passions is the key to success. Our fiends at @firstlitehunting put together this film to explore how Clay integrates business, the outdoors, and family so brilliantly in his life.
