Philosophy
"The mountains taught me to move slowly and carry less. I make films about people who chose the long road."
I make documentaries about people who chose the long road — shepherds, dyers, bakers, makers who refused the obvious shortcuts. The mountains taught me to move slowly and carry less. I try to film the same way.
Thomas Vega joined Eldvale as a contributor working from Asturias, Spain. Their work centres on outdoor, documentary, craft — quietly, and over time.

The Quiet Revival of Natural Dyeing
In a stone village in northern Spain, three women revived a craft their grandmothers buried. We followed them through one season of plants, pots, and patience.
