This is a remarkable story about an ordinary man who begins with a passion for mountaineering and ends up being known by the downtrodden Pakastani villagers as a “saintly” infidel.

After following their passion to cinema school in Los Angeles, brothers Jared and Brandon Drake came home to Snoqualmie to make their first feature film, “Visioneers,” a dark comedy that will debut at the Seattle International Film Festival (SIFF) June 12.
The theme of the movie is “following your dreams in a world where people tell you dreams are dead,” said Brandon, who drew from his own experiences growing up in the Valley to write the screenplay.
