We are Rare Breed

We are Rare Breed Productions; Claire and Dave MacLeod. For several years, we’ve been involved in loads of creative things. Claire studied fine art photography at ECA and later published lots of climbing photos in various magazines. She also organised events like the world’s first Slacklining masters last year. I’ve spent a fair bit of time in front of a film camera in films like E11, Committed, Stick It and other climbing films and always felt I’d like to make my own films. Then both of us got involved in graphic and web design running our respective internet shops – Claire selling hampers and me selling climbing films and clothing.

So we thought…

Why don’t we go for it and start making our own films, books, websites, events and make the photography we were doing a little more organised. So started Rare Breed.

We will be making all sorts of cool things for people out there, the first of which will be Echo Wall – the film documenting my ascent of one of the hardest trad routes in the world, in the rather lovely setting of the north face of Ben Nevis. But we also hope to shoot more film and photography for other businesses, as well as design websites, organise events and generally…

Create.
