Today we’re joined by Alex Maier, a filmmaker Christian met at the Flathead Lake Film Festival.

But, first, we have to hear an update on the film, as always! Christian may have some exciting news about… winning? What a new concept!

Alex tells us about his history in hiking/backpacking, how he started making films. We talk through the technical hurdles of being an outdoor filmmaker, the advent of digital cinema, and how it changed the game.

Alex tells us about Splitboarding, how he got into it, and the growing movement toward splitboarding. We talk about self distribution, the day job, and what life is like as an outdoor filmmaker.
