We’re thrilled to share a moment we’ve been eagerly awaiting ... the official announcement for the release of Chris Benchetler’s visionary new film, Mountains of the Moon.
As the Official Packaging Solutions Partner, A New Earth Project is honored to help bring this groundbreaking project to life, supporting Chris’s artistic vision and the movement for sustainable innovation in outdoor culture.
A Collaboration Rooted in Creativity and Sustainability
From the beginning, our partnership with Chris Benchetler has been about more than packaging. It’s about aligning values, creativity, and a shared respect for the planet.
Chris’s work as a professional skier, artist, and filmmaker has always pushed boundaries, blending sport, art, music, and environmental storytelling in ways that inspire us all. Mountains of the Moon is no exception. Filmed almost entirely at night using cutting-edge cinematography, lasers, and animation, and set to the timeless music of the Grateful Dead, the film explores the interconnectedness of movement, energy, and nature.
As Chris himself shared, “From day one, A New Earth Project understood the heart of this project. Their willingness to innovate and support something outside the norm helped bring this vision to life—and I couldn’t be more grateful for the collaboration.”

Packaging That Ships with Meaning
Every piece of merchandise sold through ChrisBenchetler.com is packaged sustainably with New Earth Approved materials. This isn’t just about merch, it’s about making a statement. By using New Earth Approved packaging, every product ships in materials that are curbside recyclable or home compostable, made from renewable resources, and designed to be earth-safe (See New Earth Approved Guidelines) ensuring our packaging is as regenerative and circular as the vision behind Mountains of the Moon.
Wes Carter, founder of A New Earth Project, put it best: “We are thrilled to be supporting Chris’ artistic vision for Mountains of the Moon and honored to be able to provide unique packaging solutions for all of the brand partners. Since getting to know Chris over the past few years, I have come to deeply admire his passion and commitment to his craft and can’t wait to see what he and his team have in store for all of us.”
