M&P Ep. 194 Stuart Derman, Wasatch Mountain Film Festival - a podcast by Clint Betts, Chris Rawle, Meg Walter

from 2023-04-04T10:00

:: ::

Garrett Clark and Co-founder and Executive Director of Wasatch Mountain Arts, Stuart Derman, discuss the upcoming Wasatch Mountain Film Festival that is happening April 20-23 and how the film festival was founded.

While studying in college, he and Co-Founder, Shane Baldwin, would attend outdoor-adventure film festivals; however, even though Utah is known for its diverse outdoor environment and community, Utah did not have a film festival dedicated to the outdoors at the time. So, they created Wasatch Mountain Arts that highlights outdoor adventure film directors. Since its creation, the event has grown from a single-day event to a four-day event with thousands of attendees, workshops, panel discussions, and screenings.
