Meet Our Producer

Behind every episode is a talented creative team. Leighton works tirelessly behind the scenes, editing each week's episodes and helping produce our video marketing clips, while leading the creative vision for our larger-scale video projects is Tyler Vanderwall, founder of VDW Films—a filmmaker who believes the best stories aren't staged; they're lived. With a passion for authentic storytelling and cinematic filmmaking, Tyler creates films that capture the spirit of adventure, the heart of a brand, and the moments that matter most.

Whether he's hiking into the backcountry before sunrise, documenting a remote adventure, or capturing the quiet moments that define a brand's purpose, Tyler approaches every project with the mindset of a storyteller first. His work is built on authenticity, cinematic visuals, and a genuine appreciation for the people and places that make every story unique.

Tyler helped produce the first several episodes until Leighton got versed in the process, but still plays a vital role in content capturing and continues to collaborate with C2P on big projects and events. Tyler brings that passion to every conversation, helping uncover the experiences, challenges, and victories that inspire our audience. His ability to make people feel comfortable on camera—and translate real moments into compelling films—is what sets both the podcast and his productions apart. We reach out often for advice and support.

Through VDW Films, Tyler partners with outdoor brands, conservation organizations, guides, athletes, adventure tourism companies, and businesses that want more than promotional content—they want films that connect, inspire, and leave a lasting impression.

If your brand lives outside, thrives on adventure, or has a story worth telling, VDW Films is built to help you share it with the world.

Every adventure has a story. Every brand has a purpose. VDW Films capture both.
