Nicole Amyx: Trail Running and Filmmaking, Making Them Her Own
About this episode
Nicole Amyx shares her journey of combining her passions for trail running and filmmaking, influenced by her family.
This episode features Nicole Amyx, who grew up watching her mom compete in ultra trail running events, including the famous Western States 100 miler. And yes, Nicole's mother has been influential, inspirational, and supportive of Nicole's running adventures throughout her life–up until today. I first learned about Nicole, however, because she's the co-director of a new documentary called Dipsea Generations, and Nicole developed her love of filmmaking from her father, who is a filmmaker. Nicole's story here is about how she has come to pursue both of these passions, running and filmmaking, and how she has made them her own.
