On Episode 8 of “The Cross Section Podcast” I got to hang out with one a very influential filmmaker in the cycling world - Sam Smith. He was the creative mind behind a seminal 4 season series with Jeremy Powers - "Behind The Barriers" - as well as two long form documentaries about cyclocross - "Transition" and "Transitions 2" - which pretty much captured the zeitgeist of 'cross during the era of the U.S.G.P. and what many consider to be the high-water mark of American Cyclocross. His work has been very, very influential on me over the years and I've studied BTB, Transitions as well as his more recent work for Castelli which included his "Mindful" series with Stephen Hyde and Kaitie Keough. His work is patient, calm, beautifully shot with no special tricks in post in terms of editing which I appreciate a great deal.
Today we chat with Sam Smith ... I think you’ll like it.
(NOTE: Due to connection issues, occasionally there is some pops and crackles in the audio. Apologies ... blame it on COVID.)
Thanks so much for taking some time out of your life today and I hope you had as good of a time as I did with this one.
