Episode 49: Guy Markham (Project Kurentovanje)

Guy Markham is a force of nature on the internets and a relentless motorcycle enthusiast. His "iamguymarkham" Instagram profile has over 97,000 followers, having taken off during the COVID-19 pandemic when his work running filmset security dried up. 

During the recent northern hemisphere winter, Guy embarked on his first film project, travelling by motorcycle with friends Ed and Greg, and cameraman James Archibald, to document the Kurentovanje Festival in Slovenia.

Note: when I recorded this interview in mid-March, Guy expected to have his Slovenia trip films ready for publication by mid-April. A couple of days before this episode was published, Guy updated me that the films are still in post-production but will be available to watch soon. He suggested subscribing to both his own YouTube channel, and that of The Machine Shop so that you'll know as soon as the films are available:
