49: Hilary Oliver on Giving Women in the Outdoors Voice Through Filmmaking
b'
Hilary Oliver is a writer, editor and\\xa0filmmaker. She makes outdoor films for brands such as REI, Outdoor Research and Yeti Cycles. Her mission is to give voice to women in the outdoors \\xa0- to showcase a perspective\\xa0deeper than physical achievement alone. Her work includes Above the Fray with Beth Rodden and How to Run 100 miles with\\xa0Brandon Leonard for REI.
She loves filmmaking and is driven to do it but the thing is, it doesn\\u2019t pay the bills. Don\\u2019t get me wrong, she makes money but it\\u2019s not her bread and butter.\\xa0What is? Her work as a\\xa0 freelance writer and editor of the Outdoor Research blog.\\xa0
Today, we\\u2019re going to\\xa0talk about doing your craft because you love it, not because it pays the bills. How fulfilling it is to be involved in something you love and removing the pressure of making money\\xa0doing it - how that impacts the experience of making it and the outcome. Hilary will share how she broke into freelance writing and then parlayed that into film making.\\xa0
But we\\u2019ll also talk about finding stories and giving voice to women in the outdoors. I hope today\\u2019s episode will inspire you if you to pursue things because you want to, not because you want to get rich doing it.
With that, let\\u2019s listen in and gear up for what\\u2019s next:\\xa0
