Ep 7 - Brian Hockenstein on directing mountain films, peak states, and resilience to tragedy

In this episode I chat to Brian Hockenstein, mountain filmaker and director of The Radicals documentary.

In our conversation we chat about:

  • How he fell in love with the mountains, his move to Whistler in the early 20's, and his entrance into filmmaking through the pursuit of stoke
  • How The Radicals came to be and how the magic of outdoors calls us to take action for the environment
  • His latest film project Resilience and how confronting tragedy and our own mortality can help us make the most of our limited time on this earth

You can find Brian on Instagram at @brianhockenstein and Tim at @timstewnz.

Like many, nature and adventure has deeply transformed who I am.

I like to envision the wisdom, healing, and flow states gifted to me in nature as whispers from the mountain, transmissions that bring out our best selves, give us clarity of purpose, and our show us place in the world.

This project is an exploration of how people like to play outdoors, the way it bring meaning and transformation, and what it looks like to build a practice to give us reliable access to inspiration, connection, and healing.
