SEASON 3, EPISODE 3
BRENDT BARBUR

RELEASED OCTOBER 4, 2022

During a quick trip to NYC, I was lucky enough to sit down with Brendt Barbur, the Founding Director of the Bicycle Film Festival. Heading into their 22nd year and having weathered the Covid pandemic, the BFF is slowly but surely getting back onto the world stage. We could’ve easily talked for hours about all sorts of things, but we did our best to stay on topic. From his early years growing up in Northern California, to taking his creative passion for film across the county and starting a life in New York City, and how the experience of getting hit by a bus while riding a bike was ultimately the fuel for founding the BFF.

Not only did I learn a lot about the multiple facets of such a great organization, but it was a real pleasure to speak to such a passionate and creative person.
