Good Luck, Kid | Sony Alpha Films

Renan Ozturk's short film Good Luck, Kid follows Alex Honnold and Tommy Caldwell on their so-called "Devil's Climb" adventure, observed through the camera and perspective of Taylor Shaffer, the youngest member of the team. The piece premiered at the Mountain Film festival in 2026 and runs about 22 minutes; it sits at the intersection of expedition footage and a filmmaking exercise, tracking moments of preparation, movement on the rock, and the logistics that come with shooting difficult climbing sequences. The film is worth watching for the way it emphasizes process over spectacle: it documents an intergenerational team at work and foregrounds the choices a cinematographer makes on a complex climb. Rather than presenting a technical route history or a graded send, it records the collaborative, creative side of an expedition and the practical constraints that shape how climbing is translated to film.
