Student Testimonial:

"It would not surprise me to see students go on to do great things from this school." --- Peter Vertefeuille

Instructors: Michael Brown and Pete McBride

Over the last two decades, Michael Brown has climbed to the top of two of the world's most demanding professions. As a world-class mountaineer, he has summited Mount Everest five times. As a three-time Emmy award-winning filmmaker, he has made over fifty expeditions to all seven continents, all with cameras rolling. Michael has made a habit of going to the world's harshest, most dangerous environments - the South Pole, the North Face of the Eiger, and 1,500 feet underground in Choreadoro cave - and always comes back with incredible footage and compelling stories. Outside Magazine describes the cerebral filmmaker as a "swashbuckling librarian", and Men's Journal calls him "a master of gut-dropping action." As Founder of the Outside Adventure Film School, Michael practices another of his favorite pursuits: teaching.

Pete McBride is an award winning photographer, writer and visual storyteller whose love of adventure, cultures and the outdoors have taken him on assignment throughout the world to over 60 countries. Raised on a Colorado cattle ranch, Pete is passionate about story telling and unique, gripping ways to communicate them, whether it involves vantages from 20,000 feet or swimming below icebergs. His photography honors include awards from Pictures of the Year International, Communications Arts, The Society of Professional Journalists, the Society of Publication Designers and a Knight Fellowship for Professional Journalists at Stanford University.
