The crew

Everyone at RED YAK rides. From assistants to editors, every member of the team is a motorcyclist and spends their time outdoors, on dirt, snow and open road.

That is what sets us apart. We understand the culture from the inside: what matters to riders, how the gear is really used, and what feels authentic on screen. It shows in every frame we deliver.

Beyond the core team, we work with a network of freelancers around the world who are at the top of their game, from cinematographers and photographers to editors and colorists. Every production gets the right specialists for the job, wherever it is shot.
