Jamie Thom & Marc Deri are the Lightweight Adventurers, two ordinary blokes who "let adventure and opportunity happen". In episode 13 we discussed the role of storytelling in filmmaking.

My chat with Jamie & Thom is still available - just look for ep 13 in the Reel Riders podcast feed. Link in bio.
Marc & Jamie in front of the crowd at one of the Lightweight Adventure Festivals. Onscreen text: "'The idea of it being inauthentic is probably more cringe-worthy to us than anything else.'" "Marc Deri & Jamie Thom - The Lightweight Adventurers" Marc sits on his motorcycle. Onscreen text: "'We weren't quite hitting the [emotional connection with audiences]... We put out finger on it, and it was storytelling.'" Jamie on his motorcycle on a forest track. Onscreen text: "'Storytelling is absolutely emotive, and if it's not emotive then you kind of lose the storytelling. It just becomes a list of words.'" Image of a motorcycle in a field, silouetted against the skyline. Onscreen text:"Listen back to my chat with Jamie & Marc on episode 13 of the Reel Riders podcast."
