Hank Leukart is a Los Angeles-based filmmaker, TV producer, Google Product Manager, and adventure addict. He’s passionate about using technology to share compelling, immersive stories, and especially well-versed in launching film projects combining travel to unusual locales with socially conscious issues like environmental conservation, human rights, and education. He’s worked on many iconic documentary television shows, including World’s Toughest Race (Amazon Prime); The Amazing Race, Big Brother, and The American Baking Competition (CBS); and Expedition Impossible (ABC). His first feature documentary, “The Mars Academy” — about NASA scientists helping underserved kids explore Mars with a real spacecraft — recently premiered at the Borrego Springs Film Festival. In addition, his short films “Bears Ears” and “Rattlesnake to Westwater” won awards at the Lookout Wild, Maine Outdoor, and Waterwalker Film Festivals.

Brian Leukart is a New York-based filmmaker, product development researcher, and climber. His creative talents include a keen cinematographic eye and the ability to send any conventional situation off the rails and turn it into a rollicking good time. An outdoor enthusiast, he has taken on numerous wilderness expeditions with Hank, including a south-north crossing of Iceland, the West Coast Trail, a Grand Canyon rim-to-rim-to-rim snowshoe, the Torres del Paine O Circuit, a packraft-backpack from Arizona’s Salt River through the Superstition Wilderness, and a death-defying traverse across Denali over Muldrow Glacier. He’s currently tacking his most ambitious adventure to date: raising his 3-year-old son, Emmett.
