Behind the Scenes at Anthill Films With Darcy Wittenburg

Today I’m chatting to Darcy Wittenburg, owner, director and producer at the awesome Anthill Films. We hear how Darcy got into film making and how things have progressed from the Collective, through to Anthill Films being born. Hear how some of their incredible scenes were made and what it was like to be responsible for telling Stevie Smith’s story. We also get some insight on their incredible new film, The Engine Inside, talk about the current state of mountain bike film making and plenty more. So, it’s time to sit back, hit play and listen to this episode with Darcy Wittenburg.

7Mesh

7Mesh have recently launched their brand new Airmap range. Airmap uses a unique approach of different mapped layers that uses incoming air, to expel warm moist air out of the garment, while blocking air and water in places where you need it. This allows them to individually tune the products' performance to the specific requirements of each area of the garments. The entire range is free from PFAS and PFCs, also known as the forever chemicals . Head here to find out more about the Airmap range. Listeners can get 20% off the entire range by using the code '7meshxdowntime20' until the end of January 2024.
