Episode 35: Danny Lilwall

Danny Lilwall is an amateur filmmaker who started out by making POV films of his motorcycle rides... But when boredom with that form set in, he raised his ambitions, studied endless online film-making tutorials and took an approach more in keeping with filmmaking conventions. His most recent effort - "Uganda By Motorcycle" - shows just how far he's come in crafting a well-paced and structured travel documentary. You can follow Danny on Instagram and YouTube: Instagram:       https://www.instagram.com/dannylilwallYouTube:          https://www.youtube.com/@trailwayfilmsDuring our conversation, Danny made reference to the following filmmakers: Austin Vince: Website: https://austinvince.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/austinvinceofficial/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@aevmondo Greg Villalobos: Website: https://www.gregvillalobos.co.uk YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@GregVillalobos Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gregvillalobos/ Simon Reeve: Website: https://www.simonreeve.co.uk/ Luke Francis: Vimeo: https://vimeo.com/francworks Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/francworks/ Pannier // #15KPHClub YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@panniercc The Reel Riders podcast is freely available as an audio podcast anywhere you get your podcasts.
