Bucovina Ultra Rocks by UTMB - Returning to Our Roots
The 2026 edition of Bucovina Ultra Rocks marked the event's debut in the UTMB World Series, bringing runners from around the globe to one of Europe's last untamed landscapes. Rather than creating a traditional race recap, we built the film around the event's central idea: Bridge Between Roots - the values that unite trail runners, no matter where they come from.
Through intimate interviews, raw finish-line emotions and cinematic imagery, athletes become the audience's guide through Bucovina and the personal journey that unfolds across its mountains. Every creative decision was shaped by the event's long-term identity, turning the official aftermovie into a brand film that inspires runners to discover Bucovina and experience its trails for themselves.

“From the moment we started working with Kreafilm, we were finally able to show people not only what Bucovina Ultra Rocks is, but also what makes this place and this event so special. What we appreciate most is their ability to tell a story. They understood the heart of our event from the very first year we worked together. I still remember watching our first aftermovie over and over again. We were all in tears, hugging each other, because they had captured everything we had spent years building and brought it to life on screen. Every team is like a puzzle, and for us, video and branding were the missing pieces. With Kreafilm, we finally found the right people to complete them.”
