We are always excited to tell the stories of inspiring individuals, so when The Atlantic approached our frequent collaborator, Chris Edser, to create some animated pieces on people who are breaking boundaries in sports, we jumped at the chance to get involved. We were lucky enough to tell stories from Leilani Münter, an environmentalist race-car driver, Jimmy Chin, a photographer and mountain climber, and Bianca Valenti, a female big wave surfer. The Bianca Valenti piece was screened at the Telluride Mountainfilm Festival.
