#59 - Freestyle Calisthenics: The World Is Our Gym w/ Rain Bennett

Rain Bennett is an independent international documentary filmmaker who creates projects focused on cultural or social issues, food, music, art, and health. He created the movie Raise Up: The World Is Our Gym to document the history of the art form and the new age of calisthenics. I’m beyond excited to chat with him today because I strongly believe in building bridges between disciplines to have a cross exchange of information and ideas. I appreciate the creativity, style, and expression of movement that calisthenics contributes to the fitness community.Rain does a ton of consulting with businesses around storytelling to help them connect with their audiences and customers. He does a phenomenal job of translating his skillset in filmmaking and storytelling into actionable items for fitness professionals to use in this new age of technology.Show Notes:(8:45) – Brief history of calisthenics(16:05) – Progressing with skills(24:29) – Creativity in movement(30:22) – Storytelling and filmmaking(33:35) – Character development(37:14) – Using storytelling in business and the fitness industry(46:48) – Uncovering your story(52:03) – Short-form storytelling for social media(1:07:16) – Using video👋🏽  Connect with Rain Bennett:Website: raiseupthemovie.comWebsite: https://www.rainbennett.com/Instagram: @rainbennettInstagram: @raiseupthemovieFacebook: B.
