Jimmy Chin: From climbing Meru to directing Free Solo

Jimmy Chin is probably the most awarded mountain documentary film maker in the world, with an audience award at Sundance for Meru and an Oscar for Free Solo. But before being a successful director, Jimmy was an elite rock climber and alpinist. In this interview, he shares with us the struggles of climbing Meru, the reason why he wanted to document Alex Honnold's free solo of El Capitan, and why it is important for him to share those stories to a wider audience.

Jimmy is also a talented photographer, and he took the photo of the official poster of the 2023 Summer Edition of Mountains on Stage film festival, on tour from April 13th 2023!
