This November, the Tees Valley International Film Festival will host the premiere of an extraordinary new documentary. 3 Peaks 3 Pots will debut at ARC Stockton on 6 November 2025, shining a spotlight on one of Britain’s toughest endurance undertakings.
The film, directed by the acclaimed British filmmaker Paul Suggitt, follows entrepreneur and explorer John Beamson—known as The CEO Adventurer—through an unrelenting mission. His goal: to conquer three iconic Yorkshire summits and descend into three of the nation’s deepest potholes in one continuous challenge.
With dramatic visuals and a compelling narrative, the production reveals not just the toll such a feat takes on the body, but the resilience and mental discipline needed to push past limits. Its themes of leadership and transformation resonate powerfully in today’s unpredictable times.
“This isn’t just about adventure for adventure’s sake,” said John Beamson. “It’s about testing yourself in ways most people never will, in the dark, in the cold, when your body says stop but your mind has to find a reason to carry on. That’s where real growth happens.”
Filmed against the rugged backdrop of the Yorkshire Dales, the work captures extraordinary underground footage alongside candid interviews and a rare glimpse into the preparation behind such a challenge.
Festival organisers have praised the documentary as one of the standout premieres of 2025, celebrating both the region and northern creative talent.
