Special Report: Drift (2026)

About this episode

Mike discusses the film Drift (2026) with editors Martin Biehn and Kevin Hibbard.

Mike talks with editors Martin Biehn and Kevin Hibbard about their work on Drift (2026), directed by Deon Taylor. Isaac "Drift" Wright is an Army veteran and self-taught photographer whose trauma finds an outlet in illegal high-rise climbing — scaling some of the world's tallest structures to capture images from vantage points no permit would allow. The film documents his pursuit of art and healing while tracking an escalating confrontation with law enforcement that puts his freedom at risk. It premiered at South by Southwest in 2026.
