How To Create A Sport-Defining Film
Eric Lagerstrom recently released "Look For Things Where You Can Find Them" - a film that gave him the opportunity to share his perspective on triathlon outside the tape of a traditional race course. Not only did he achieve that, but he dramatically raised the bar for the entire endurance sports community. Eric Lagerstrom and Paula Findlay have been building a large community with That Triathlon Life (TTL) and this film was a project that Eric has been chasing for a while. We sat down for a conversation about the creation of the film, the audience reception, and what's next.
