Summary
When it comes to skiing, product design, filmmaking, and art, few people have exhibited a more distinctive style than Eric Pollard. But for someone who has been working at the forefront of these mediums for about 20 years, we know a relatively small amount about the person behind the products, the films, and the skiing.
So in this conversation, we talk to Eric about skiing and art and creating and evolving, and we discuss his soon-to-be-released film and book that share the same title, Drawn From Here.
TOPICS & TIMES:
- Drawn From Here — The Film (1:25)
- Style (9:07)
- Defying expectations (12:53)
- Why “Night Moves”? (16:61)
- Drawn From Here — The Book (32:22)
- How the book complements the film (39:34)
- Skiing, Ski Design, & Ski Names (47:40)
- Other inputs (1:06:25)
