Hi, my name is Nikola Horvat - Tesla and I present to you my first solo documentary.

In summer of 2019. I went to hike Colorado Trail to find the reasons why do I hike. This was independent project and the movie was filmed, edited and written by myself. It was challenging to carry all of video equipment in my backpack, but I had a vision and a goal - I wanted to capture my inner reasons why I do hike and why do I always go back to long distance hiking.

Why do I hike won 3 grand prix awards and it was once a finalist and official selection on various film festivals:
Croatian travel festival/Dijana Klaric award 2020: 1st prize
Mosor film festival: 1st prize
3FoK, Bosnia and Herzegovina: 1st prize
Godollo film festival, Hungary: official selection
Kharkiv international festival of arts and travel, Ukraine: official selection
