RENEGADE BOXER TURNED DOCUMENTARIAN

Jay Bulgar

Getting permission to follow an instinct rarely occurs to Jay Bulger. Following a professional boxing career, 
and inspired by a 1972 documentary, he tracked Ginger Baker down to South Africa, and took up residence with 
him under the guise of a Rolling Stone writer. The only problem? He wasn’t actually a Rolling Stone writer. 
But nonetheless, five years later his piece, “The Devil and Ginger Baker,” had not only been featured in the magazine, 
but he also had an award-winning documentary about the experience under his belt. “I learned a lot from him…
someone who went to the end of the world to find and perfect their craft. I just aspire to be someone like
that—someone who will not stop, or will not be told what the rules of this world that we live in. Because it’s the 
people who break those rules that change things.”

JOURNALIST TURNED ADVENTURE-SEEKING FILMMAKER

Ben Fee

Since the moment director Ben Fee held his first video camera at the age of ten, filmmaking has been a porthole
for seeing life from a different angle. The irresistible desire to explore more of the world drove him to seek out and
document adventure after adventure—from spending a year as Hunter S. Thompson’s writing assistant to
snowboarding some of the globe’s most intimidating slopes. To him, the possibilities are endless—but he intends
to explore as many as he humanly can. “I want to take those things that happen every day on this big, strange planet
and put them on the screen…a bit of magical realism. I want to instill a belief in possibility and movement 
and a notion of a world that anyone can do anything in.”
