White Mountains, New Hampshire

Filmmaker Bio:

“My name is Philip J. Carcia and I am a hiker, runner, and media creator who has logged over 15,000 miles on some of the most iconic trail networks in North America. Growing up in Massachusetts and cutting my teeth in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, I fostered a deep love affair with the mountains of the Northeast at an early age. Almost two-decades later, that love continues to widen, and has become an anchor in both my personal and professional narrative.

I’m a firm believer that in order to reach your true potential in life, you must give yourself fully. After nearly 35 years, I still strive to reach this difficult standard – doing what I love, in the place that I love to do it.”
