adventure film maker. author. motivational speaker.
Since Dominic was knee-high to a grasshopper he's been running around in the mountains and dreaming of adventure. In 2004 he won a small BBC-sponsored adventure film competition at the Kendal Mountain Film Festival. This got him thinking...
After flirting briefly with a 'responsible' job as an environmental consultant, he decided to cut his ties with the nine-to-five world completely and embark on a journey down two continents on a tandem bicycle, picking up strangers on the way. He took a video camera and filmed the journey. Three years after setting off, he'd travelled from Alaska to Argentina, made an award-winning documentary and written a book that explored the more human side of the journey.
Now Dominic has set a course into the world of adventure film, not just doing the 'tough-guy' explorer thing, but trying to document what he regards as the most interesting thing in the world: the people that surround us.
