National Geographic Live

Have you ever watched a National Geographic film about some incredibly remote, dangerous place and then wondered what the people behind the camera experienced to capture the action?

For National Geographic Channel filmmaker Bryan Smith, extreme is “whatever is scary for you,” and in extreme filmmaking, the cameraman joins the athlete in testing the limits. Meet this award-winning filmmaker, adventurer & kayaker in an event filled with incredible stories and intense footage shot in stunning locations.

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 a river near his home in British Columbia. He quickly developed a knack for creating innovative technical solutions to capture dizzying images, sometimes taking calculated risks to get the magic shot.

Discover his stories of adventure with his live talks at venues throughout Australia & New Zealand.
