Farther than the Eye Can See

Filmmaker Michael Brown has literally climbed mountains to get the right shot. The three-time Emmy winner has traveled to the tops of some of the highest peaks in the world — including four trips to the summit of Mount Everest — as part of his adventure filmmaking business. His work has been picked up by National Geographic, NBC, CBS, ABC, ESPN, OLN, the BBC and the Discovery Channel, but his film Farther Than the Eye Can See was full of milestones. It documents blind climber Erik Weihenmayer’s ascent to the summit of Mount Everest, but also marks the first time an HD camera was brought to the peak. Below, Hulu asked Brown about this project and Weihenmayer’s incredible journey. — Rebecca Harper, Hulu.com
