When it comes to adventure\u00a0film festivals<\/a>, the usual suspects often get all the buzz \u2014 Banff, Mountainfilm, and Boulder, to name a few. Yet, up in a wild and less-trodden pocket of the U.S. called Michigan\u2019s Upper Peninsula (U.P.), there\u2019s an annual film festival that\u2019s just as action-packed, and scenic. Meet the\u00a0Fresh Coast Film Festival<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

About the Festival<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Marquette-based film festival celebrates the rugged environment, epic adventure, and tight community found across America\u2019s third coast \u2014 also known as the fresh coast \u2014 the Great Lakes. The festival runs from October 13 to 16th this year. It accepts films from around the world but prioritizes stories from the Midwest, a region not often thought of when discussing outdoor activities. The event largely stems from co-founder Aaron Peterson\u2019s goal to amplify regional voices and ultimately give back to his home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We focus on that middle of the industry, blue collar, working filmmaker in the outdoor and environmental space.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe focus on that middle of the industry, blue collar, working filmmaker in the outdoor and environmental space, with a preference for Great Lakes content,\u201d said Peterson, founder of Midwest adventure-content powerhouse Aaron Peterson Studios<\/a>. \u201cI shoot for half of our films to be regional, and the other half cherry-picked from what\u2019s going on in the international and national conversations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peterson and his fellow founders landed on the idea for a Lake Superior-adjacent film festival in April 2016. Five months later, the crew hosted its first event. They\u2019ve been growing Fresh Coast Film Festival ever since.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Launching a film festival was never in Peterson\u2019s five (or even ten) year plan. Like so many creative career paths, it serendipitously fell into place. It\u2019s a tale intertwined with Peterson\u2019s career path from journalist, to filmmaker, to film festival co-founder. The story backdrop? Michigan\u2019s wild, birch-dotted great outdoors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How It Started<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Growing up in rural Wisconsin, Peterson used the Upper Midwest\u2019s forests and waterways as his childhood playground. Like many young adults, it took Peterson moving to Asia to fully recognize and appreciate his fondness for home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYes, travel is glamorous. But, at the end of the day, where I\u2019m from in the Upper Midwest is very clean, beautiful, and sparsely populated. We have so much elbow room,\u201d he said, noting that Michigan\u2019s U.P. was by far his favorite stretch of the region. \u201cIt\u2019s like no man\u2019s land.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peterson\u2019s time in Asia did yield an important personal discovery: He had planned to go into international business after college, but he learned his true passion was talking with people, then sharing their stories through journalism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLuckily journalism is about what you can do, not what you studied,\u201d he said. \u201cI was able to build a portfolio of still photography to get my first newspaper job in Minnesota.\u201d From there, he worked his way up and over to his favorite place, Marquette in Michigan\u2019s U.P.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt felt like a place I could make a difference,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s about 20,000 people, so just enough people to get things done but small enough that one person (or small group) can have a big impact.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carving a New Niche<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

From\u00a0the viral\u00a0ice-covered beards of Lake Superior surfers\u00a0to the ever-growing\u00a0mountain bike system\u00a0connecting Michigan\u2019s Keweenaw Peninsula, the Great Lakes region is increasingly on the adventure lover’s map. When Peterson landed here in the early 2000s, though, the region was well off the mainstream media radar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe [outdoor-adventure] conversation wasn\u2019t happening here. In my gut, I knew it should be. It\u2019s an amazing landscape, essentially a third coast, and you get these different feelings from the same lakes within a couple hours of each other,\u201d he said. \u201cPlus, you have topography to make things interesting, like mountain biking and backpacking.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Telling the stories no one else is telling is a key ingredient for journalistic success \u2014 and Peterson had countless untold stories at his disposal. He embarked on a career of feature writing and photography packages for regional travel magazines. All went well, until it didn\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI went out on my own in about 2008, and that wasn\u2019t a great time,\u201d he said, recalling the recession that transformed the media industry. “Everything sort of fell apart. Magazines and newspapers crashed. Social media blew up, and the word content started to come about. There was just a glut of good photography.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peterson used this time to mentally check out and focus on raising his kids. When he decided to give the creative world another go, a new tool for storytelling was there waiting: digital video. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI started dabbling into video and realized, almost overnight, that this is where I\u2019m supposed to be,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Breaking into Video \u2014 and Film Festivals<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At this point, Peterson\u2019s years of honing his storytelling craft and cultivating outdoor community finally came to a head. He helped tourism brands, such as Travel Marquette<\/a>, see the potential of marketing outdoor adventures like kayaking and mountain biking via digital media. Before he knew it, he and the team at Aaron Peterson Studios had made careers and a business out of creating adventure films for their beloved region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor many creatives, there\u2019s this commercial side that allows them to take risks on the creative side. For me, it was this weird middle ground where I was being paid to do brand storytelling, but I was given complete freedom creatively,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of his projects, a 2014 film<\/a> about the community-led boom in winter cycling in Marquette, went through the mountain film festival circuit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI was totally unaware of that scene,\u201d he said, noting his film \u201cCold Rolled<\/a>\u201d made its way into the circuit through word-of-mouth. \u201cOnce you\u2019re in it, though, you realize that everyone\u2019s intimidated.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peterson also had a genius, and quintessentially Midwest, way of breaking the ice during his first trip to Mountainfilm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGoing into that first film festival and not knowing what to do, I just bought a [bunch] of beer from [Marquette-based] Blackrocks Brewery, which now sponsors the Fresh Coast Film Festival,\u201d Peterson said. He handed out beers to new friends and festival volunteers. \u201cIt was amazing. I became known as the guy with the beer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starting Fresh Coast Film Festival<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Peterson left Mountainfilm feeling invigorated by the community and creativity. When he returned home, a fellow U.P. changemaker (and future Fresh Coast Film Festival co-founder) came to him with an idea. They should start their own festival in Marquette. Two years later, they did just that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe festival was modeled on mountain festivals I\u2019ve been to,\u201d he said. \u201cI wanted to create something like [Mountainfilm], but for the Great Lakes region and flyover land for all the stories that maybe aren\u2019t \u2018cool\u2019 enough for the bigger mountain festivals.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They started with a few people and seed funding from the community, then happily welcomed 100 volunteers, including one with key event experience. Since the inaugural Fresh Coast Film Festival in 2016, Peterson and the team have been able to grow not just in numbers, but in mission. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of our goals is to see more women \u2014 women subjects and filmmakers \u2014 in the adventure space.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOne of our goals is to see more women \u2014 women subjects and filmmakers \u2014 in the adventure space,\u201d he said. Since day one, the crew has also prioritized respecting the local Indigenous communities and acknowledging their land rights. \u201cThey\u2019re still active, contemporary cultures, and their stories are still being told, and that\u2019s at the core of Fresh Coast Film.\u201d (See their full land acknowledgment<\/u> here<\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fresh Coast Film Festival accepts films via Film Freeway<\/a>. Peterson notes they also solicit from other film festivals \u2014 yet another reason to get your work out there. But Peterson is quick to note that the goal for film festivals should go beyond exposure and \u201cmaking it big.\u201d It\u2019s just as much about community and live feedback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor me, it\u2019s less about being discovered at a festival. A lot of the stuff in these festivals is probably already streaming somewhere,\u201d he said. \u201cThere\u2019s something primitive about gathering together in a dark room and sharing stories in a communal setting. Plus, as a filmmaker, hearing people laugh \u2014 or not laugh where you thought they should have \u2014 is really powerful feedback.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What will you find in adventure filmmaker Aaron Peterson\u2019s kit? A lot of Sony equipment, plus a handful of audio, lighting, and action gear to get the job done. The approach is \u201cfast, light, and flexible,\u201d Peterson said. Here\u2019s what that looks like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
