Alex Lewis Mountain Film

Quadruple amputee Alex Lewis and Ethiopian amputee and international wheelchair basketball player Emebet Ale Dries. Alex and Emebet set out to prove to themselves, their families and the rest of the world that anything is possible by climbing Ethiopia's highest mountain using a custom built, off-road, solar-powered hand cycle.

The film takes you on a remarkable journey from the Winchester A&E department to the design and technology laboratories at the University of Southampton and then on to the thrilling and spectacular scenery of the Ethiopian Highlands. The Director is Simon Ratigan.

The Challenge

The Summit team were given the challenge to create a website for the Alex Lewis Mountain Film, which would be interactive and have the functionality for donations to be given.

The digital application

The Summit team started this project by designing the layout and pages in Figma, which is a leading collaborative design tool.

The Alex Lewis Mountain Film website was then constructed using Webflow due to its superior performance, rapid construction pace, and the client's preference for straightforward website editing. We believe Webflow offers exceptional value to our clients by granting them the capability to independently incorporate additions and make future edits to the website without demanding extensive technical proficiency.

With the film being the most important aspect of this website, we kept the design simple to focus on the story of Alex Lewis and Emebet Ale Dires. The website shows the trailer of the film, where you can then make a donation to view the full documentary, which is hosted on Vimeo, directed by Simon Ratigan.
