S03 E02 - The Journey to Becoming a Filmmaker: How Divya Gordon Captures Stories That Matter

Divya Gordon is an Adventure Filmmaker who has created films such as Steady, Maven & Seven7Seven. In this episode, Divya shares the incredible journey from the corporate world of Business and Marketing to adventure filmmaking. With no formal training, Divya carved a path in the industry by embracing risk, creativity, and hands-on learning — eventually working with brands like Nikon and Arc'teryx to bring incredible stories to life.

Building a tiny home in the Australian Snowy Mountains is one of Divya's many incredible achievements along with documenting a variety of extreme outdoor sports. We explore the challenges of breaking into filmmaking, the balance between passion projects and financial sustainability, and the power of visual storytelling. Divya also gives a behind-the-scenes look at recent projects, including Steady, featuring a world-record highline unicyclist, and Maven, the first Australian backcountry snow film centered on women.

For filmmakers, photographers, and creatives looking to turn their passion into a career, this episode is packed with insights on storytelling, resilience, and navigating an ever-changing industry.
