Judges:
Erik Nachtrieb and Vivienne Smith - Award Winning Executive Producers and Directors at adventure film production company - 1iOpen Productions. They’ve shared some of their filming adventures at two Boldly Went Seattle events and those stories are featured in the Boldly Went Podcast including encounters with the Belize Defense Force, Ep. 26 “Providing Aid” and wrestling Kazakhs, Ep. 3 “Chinese Wrestlers, PCT Trail Magic, and Shredding in Iran.”
Joel Ballezza - Storyteller, Marketer and Filmmaker. Joel shared at the first ever Boldly Went Show in 2017 when he recounted his impromptu tour of Iceland in the winter. You can listen to it in the Boldly Went podcast "Ep. 2 Escapades in Pakistan, England, and Iceland." When he isn't running trails around Seattle or climbing peaks, Joel enjoys making films under the moniker The Wild Ones. He recently produced a 17-minute feature, "Dick's RASH", telling the story of a local adventurer's solo, unsupported climb and circumnavigation of four NW stratovolcanoes.
