In this episode of The Creative Gap, Carlo sits down with BPN filmmakers George Kroeker and Ian Rodriguez to discuss their journey into filmmaking, their collaboration, and the making of "Surrender", BPN’s feature-length documentary revolving around last year's Last Man Standing Race. They share how they each got started—from photography and design to videography—before finding their way onto the BPN media team, and how their friendship and honesty shaped their creative partnership. The conversation dives into the challenges of shooting an unpredictable multi-day race, the risks they took in storytelling, and the symbolism behind the film’s title & ethereal nature. Throughout, Ian and George emphasize BPN’s culture of trust, faith, and pushing creative boundaries, reflecting on how Surrender not only redefined what a running documentary could look like but also deepened their growth as filmmakers and men of faith.
