Jeremy Grant, a Searsport-based videographer, has an unquenchable belief in the possibilities that can happen when people engage with the natural world. He spends his life documenting the world to get people excited about it. “I want to inspire people just to get out. Maine is cold, and it can be boring, if you don’t embrace it,” he said. Turns out, his passion was drone photography. Grant started a film and media company to tell “genuine stories.” About five years ago, he gambled that he could turn video and photography work into a full-time career. He shares his adventures with an ever-growing audience on his social media pages. The more than 17,000 Facebook fans of The Timber Cross, his film and media company, are quick to like and comment on the videos, which use soaring drone footage and solid storytelling skill to capture both the rugged beauty of Maine and the strength and gumption of Mainers.
