2022 Audience Choice Award, Flatland Film Festival

Dirtbag, a short film by James Loss, follows Colorado resident Tucker Rowan as he spends the summer living in his car, searching for the best crags and climbs throughout the state.

Tucker tragically passed away in an ice-climbing accident two months after this film was released. This short film has become a testament to his joy, infectious energy, and unapologetic determination to live the life he loved most.

James Loss co-directed a documentary featuring the two-week experience offered by Texas Tech University at their satellite campus in Junction, Texas. The documentary was used in a multi-million-dollar grant proposal to the state legislature, which acquired $8 million for campus refurbishments.
