Mad Trapper

Crazy

What does it mean to be a mad trapper? To some, it means "you're crazy." To others, it's a way of life... To hell with it, maybe the world has gone crazy after all.

When I started envisioning a brand film for Mad Trapper, I kept returning to three core ideas: the untamed outdoors, its innate freedom, and a deliberately simple way of life. I felt compelled to portray our hero almost as a steward of that existence—his face and routines partially veiled, his silence speaking volumes. In a culture quick to judge or dismiss simplicity, my goal was to honor those who protect it with quiet resolve... even the crazy ones.
