About the film
Set against the awe-inspiring landscapes of British Columbia, Clay, his triplet brother Tanner, and a vibrant cast of renowned adaptive athletes set out to defy expectations and redefine what inclusion in the outdoors truly means.
Forward celebrates the power of adaptive adventure through the inspiring journey of Clay March — a young man with cerebral palsy whose passion for skiing, surfing, and exploring the outdoors knows no bounds.

ABOUT THE FEST //
Lookout Mountain is an iconic part of the skyline from most anywhere in Chattanooga. We like to think the mountain reminds us to look out at the world around us. To look outside our daily routine for joy and adventure. And to look out for the natural environment that’s threatened. Those things make the foundation of the Lookout Wild Film Festival.
