Michael Brown and I met 4 months ago at the Boulder International Film Fest, where he introduced my film Between Giants. After that screening, we stayed up with other filmmakers and explorers until 3:00 am discussing far off lands and desolate places. After that evening, I knew I needed to have Michael on my podcast, so here we are. ⠀
⠀
Bio:⠀
Michael has excelled as both an adventure athlete and as a filmmaker. He has been to the summit of Mount Everest five times, each time with cameras rolling. His work as a director and cinematographer spans all seven continents and has won many film festivals and industry awards, including three national Emmy Awards. ⠀
⠀
Michael's lens has captured ice caves for NOVA, tornadoes for Discovery, science at the South Pole for National Geographic, avalanches for the BBC, and mountain climbing for four giant screen IMAX movies. Michael has made a habit of going to the world's harshest, most dangerous environments and always comes back with incredible footage and compelling stories. Outside Magazine describes the cerebral filmmaker as a "swashbuckling librarian," and Men's Journal calls him "a master of gut-dropping action." ⠀
