Bryan Smith is an adventure filmmaker and expedition kayaker based out of Squamish, British Columbia. Paddling first descents on steep, difficult rivers all over the world including Peru, India and Ecuador and across North America fueled his enthusiasm to share adventure experiences through media and film. His first documentary 49 Megawatts was acclaimed for its amazing kayaking footage and insightful exploration of the controversy over British Columbia’s river based energy production. An online version went viral and led to two feature length sea kayaking projects. In 2010 Bryan co-produced and directed the Season, a 22 episode web TV series for Arcteryx, earned a National Geographic Expedition Council Grant for his work in Kamchatka, Russia and worked as a Director of Photography for two National Geographic TV shows. His experience as an adventurer is just as diverse as his filmmaking.
Why he uses Clik? “For me the way Clik products integrate with each other is essential. Some shoots I need to be as fast as the athletes and will have two cameras in tow. Clik makes it easy. A comfortable backpack with my big camera and then a chest system keeps my 5d handy for any moment that can’t be missed.”
