Episode 31: Thomas Dance

If you've listened to epsiode 28 (Greg Villalobos) you will already be familiar with Thomas Dance, as Thomas recently shot and edited the Adventure Spec Trans Morocco Trail film that I spoke with Greg about. In this episode, I speak with Thomas about that experience, the other films he's posted to YouTube, how he got into film-making and his photography origin story. 

(Note: the main interview was recorded in late March, just as the first serious signs of spring were appearing in western Europe.) 

Check out Thomas' YouTube channel for his two Pyrenees films that we discussed in this episode:
