"Breaking Barriers, Building Belonging" and "Hike for a Change"
Tue Oct 6, 2026
In 2024 and 2025, Reel Quest Films spent several days filming with Maine Adaptive Sports and Recreation to create a new short film, Represent: Breaking Barriers, Building Belonging. They met and interviewed about a dozen amazing adaptive athletes, while joining them on adventures ranging from climbing to cycling to skiing, to an overnight paddling trip in the Allagash Wilderness Waterway. The film will be shared throughout 2026, and we're excited to share it with you right here in Marlow, NH at Kroka Expeditions. 

In May 2024, Josh Moughan from The Dirty Hands Project set off on Hike for a Change, a fundraiser spanning the 230-mile Bay Circuit Trail in Massachusetts that transformed grief into purpose—honoring the life of his son, Ty, and raising awareness for mental health after Ty’s death by suicide. The Reel Quest Films team followed Josh along his journey, documenting the hike and the impact his efforts made in every town he passed through.

In April 2026, Reel Quest Films released the documentary Hike for a Change a month before Josh set off on his namesake fundraiser for a third year in a row. Josh is already showing the film at schools and organizations to inspire deeper discussion and involvement with changing the stigma around mental health and showcasing the benefits of spending time in nature.

Ryan Smith, one of the filmmakers and founders of Reel Quest Films, will be present for a Q&A session and to connect with our local community.
