Ben Clark is a Himalayan pioneer and award-winning filmmaker. At 23, he summited Mount Everest and at 25, released his first feature-length documentary about that expedition and “best of iTunes” podcast series “The Rest of Everest”. As both careers developed, Clark devoted time on his expeditions to bringing back the stories of the triumphs, failures, and bonds forged on the mountainside as a skier, climber, and runner pushing limits in the world’s highest mountains. His past feature films include Everest the Other Side, The Alaskan Way, and Nolan’s 14. “To be the first to climb, ski, and explore mountains and regions was the driver, but why do it if you can’t share it? A defining virtue and purpose of exploring entails documenting these places for the world to see, but it is what we discover that becomes the story.” It is bringing story to action that defines Clark’s life today. A family man who trains on the world’s second most popular running route—Prospect Park in Brooklyn, New York—when Ben is not in the studio he still frequents above 17,000 feet to safely document the cultures of the adventure world.
