in 2007 Julie Kennedy approached outdoor icon Yvon Chouinard and pitched an idea for an adventure film festival built around the power of story. Now a decade later the festival doesn’t just share the adventure stories but empowers participants through film, through workshops, panels, and seminars to live a life aligned with its foundational five points: commitment . . respect . . humility . . purpose . . .balance. The good people at 5 point have a vision to develop a network of educated and engaged communities inspired by story to take action in their lives . . .to give back . . so to honor that we bring you interviews with those who are inspired by the festival and taking action in their lives.
