Extreme Adventure Filmmaker, Bryan Smith, Continues the National Geographic Live Series
National Geographic extreme filmmaker BRyan Smith is the second speaker on the new National Geographic Live! Series at the Fred Kavli Theatre on Friday, February 24, 2017 at 8:00 pm.
Join Smith, an award-winning filmmaker, adventurer and conservationist for the National Geographic Channel, as he shares gripping moments from his assignments to document extreme feats and high adventure in the world's most challenging environments.
An experienced kayaker who had paddled steep rivers in India, Peru, and Russia, Smith was inspired to take up video photography while protesting a hydroelectric dam project that threatened British Columbian rivers. He quickly developed a knack for creating innovative technical solutions to capture dizzying images'inevitably putting himself and his team at risk to get the shot.
Braving raging whitewater in British Columbian rivers; sharing too little space with grizzlies in Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula (where legions of mosquitos are the other voracious predators to fear); and fulfilling the eternal dream of human flight are all situations and subjects that have absorbEd Smith over the past ten years.
Currently, Smith is traveling the world in search of the world's monster fish for the popular Nat Geo WILD series "Hooked." He recently filmed and directed "The Man Who Could Fly," a National Geographic special documenting experiments in human-powered flight.
For Smith, extreme is "whatever is scary for you," and he repeatedly tests the limits. Meet this dynamic filmmaker, adventurer and conservationist for amazing stories and intense footage shot in stunning locations.
