Royal Marine Veterans call this place home for three weeks every January.

It all begins with an idea, or in our case, a short film.

Born out of ‘Finding the Edge’ from our director James, ‘Once, Were Warriors’ is in it’s infancy. A few notes on paper and chit chat in the office. But this is where it began to snowball as we discuss the vital work veterans charities do and of the restorative power of the outdoors, for everyone, not just injured veterans.

We believe there is a powerful story to be told on the cusp of the 10 year anniversary of combat operations in Afghanistan, survivors of those operations find themselves in the french alps.

Supported by the Royal Marines charity, every January a handful of veterans are given an opportunity to learn to ski, to reconnect with comrades and to rediscover a sense of self.
