What were you carrying into the run?
“I had trained for the distance. I had not trained for the doubt.”

Two ways to
remember it.
Two concept samples, two moods. Midnight holds a cold New York run in near-black. Ink turns a warmer, over-fast start into a paper-bright editorial story. Both routes follow real local OpenStreetMap street geometry.
Ink — New York concept sample
Bright, editorial, printed-page calm. A fine route line moves across New York's local street geometry while a warm, over-fast start gives way to an honest finish.
Film description: A sunlit runner appears over a pale New York map. The route draws while the journal moves from an over-fast start through fading pace to “I finished more tired than proud. That changed after I got home.”
Concept samples: Routes use real local OpenStreetMap street geometry. Timing, dates and story details are synthetic, as is the demonstration subject imagery. Customer films use runner-authorized inputs.
01 — How it works
From GPX to film
Three steps between a finish line and a film.
01
Upload your run
Drop in your GPX or TCX file. We use the route, distance, pace and elevation that shape the story — and deliberately leave sensitive health metrics out.
02
We craft the film
Your words provide the meaning. The real route and splits locate the turning point, while your photo keeps the runner — not the dashboard — at the centre.
03
Relive & share
Receive a cinematic memory film made to be watched on race night, sent to your people, and kept forever.
02 — Make it yours
Recognizable before beautiful
Choose a run worth returning to.
The best film is not always your fastest run. It is the first distance, the comeback, the shared run, the difficult day, or the city that still has something to say.
Where did the day change?
“At kilometre sixteen, the city went quiet and I had to choose.”
What did finishing mean?
“The time mattered. Coming back to myself mattered more.”
Photo guidance
You do not need to look perfect.
An honest finish face can carry more memory than a posed portrait. What matters is that the image feels unmistakably connected to the run.
- Use the original high-resolution photo, not a screenshot.
- One runner, with the face visible and room around the body.
- Running kit, shoes, track, road or finish context helps recognition.
- A wide environmental photo plus a close emotional photo is ideal; one strong photo still works.
- No text overlays, heavy filters or copyrighted lyrics.
03 — What you receive
One run. A film, a page, a frame.
The system stays consistent; the route, photo, timing and words change around the runner. Samples are clearly marked when they use AI-generated demonstration imagery.
Ⅰ
The Memory Film
A cinematic vertical edit of your route, pace and defining moments — titled, dated and graded in the visual language you choose. Built for stories, reels and keeping.
Ⅱ
The Private Premiere Page
Your film lives at an unlisted page only you can share — watch, download, and send it to the people who tracked you from kilometre one.
Ⅲ
The Poster Frame
A high-resolution still drawn from the opening, map or finish — composed to work as the film's cover, a social thumbnail and a keepsake. Print-sized delivery depends on the resolution of your original photo.
04 — The film
Frame from a finished film
Every stretch, remembered.

A recap tells you what happened. A film lets you feel it again.
A yearly recap of averages and totals.
One run that mattered, told properly.
Charts, badges and confetti animations.
Cinematography, pacing and your own words.
A screenshot you post once and forget.
A keepsake you'll rewatch in ten years.
Made by an algorithm, for everyone.
Edited around your data, for you.
07 — Not open yet
Your race deserves a premiere.
We're finishing the first run of films. Leave your email and we'll tell you the day it opens — one message, nothing else, and you can reply to stop. Pricing and the founding offer come with that message.

08 — Questions
Before you press start.
What file do I need to upload?+
GPX or TCX is ready to use. During early access, FIT files are welcome too, but we convert them by hand before making the film.
How long does a film take?+
Orders are not open yet. For an accepted early place, file compatibility, scope and delivery timing will be confirmed before payment. A standard turnaround will be published only after the workflow has been timed.
What will it cost?+
Orders aren't open yet, so there is no live public price. The waitlist will hear any founding offer first. The exact scope, one-off price, correction terms and applicable refund rights will be confirmed before payment.
Do I need photos or video of my run?+
The route can stand alone, but the Human Truth film is strongest with one authorized, high-resolution photo that clearly feels connected to running. We currently accept one photo rather than video clips.
Does it have to be a race?+
No. First 5K, comeback run after injury, a hundredth parkrun, the long run where everything clicked — if it mattered to you, it's film-worthy.
Who owns the film?+
You do — fully, forever, with no watermark. Your data is used only to make your film: we strip heart-rate and sensor data on ingestion, delete source files within 14 days of delivery, and never publish your film without your written permission.
