Sean Kilgus | The Grab Matters Podcast - Episode 83

Have you ever spent tens of thousands of dollars and countless hours on a film, only for it not to be met with the reaction you thought it would have been? Today we chat with Sean Kilgus, the producer of countless wakeboard films, including The Butter Effect, Defy, and Prime. We are talking with him about how he got into film making, how much a high production value movie costs to make, how he navigated his career, some good Randall Harris stories, and ultimately why he decided to step away from filmmaking. Hear all that and much more in Episode 83 of the Grab Matters Podcast! Follow Sean: https://www.instagram.com/seankilgus/BFY Films: https://www.instagram.com/bfywakefilms/Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/GrabMattersPodcastThank you to this shows sponsors! Liquid Force: https://www.liquidforce.com/ Slingshot: https://slingshotsports.com/Chapters:00:00 - 1:00 intro1:10 First days riding 4:50 Favorite grab6:10 Prime 2?16:00 Getting into filming21:30 Concussion Project28:40 Guest Question: Danny Harf30:00 Defy37:30 Mexico trip 50:30 LF’n Wheel of Questions1:05:40 Defy cont. 1:19:00 Helicopters/Close calls1:33:00 Slingshot Silhouette Challenge 1:39:00 Prime and how it was received in the industry2:11:30 Media currently 2:20:30 Single greatest moment filming2:27:50 Randall stories2:36:20 Thank you’sLinks:BFY Films: https://bfyactionfilmsmedia.com/action-sports/Defy: https://www.amazon.com/Defy-Danny-Harf/dp/B007QIKZ4APrime: https://www.amazon.com/Prime-Wake-Movie-Danny-Harf/dp/B00PJRDMPYShoot us a text!Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/GrabMattersPodcastWebsite: https://www.grabmatters.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@grabmatters/videosInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/grabmatters/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@grabmatterspodcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/grabmatters
