Originally from a small-town in Michigan, Martin Fobes is a professional filmmaker and also a skateboarded now residing in Huntington Beach, CA with his wife and pup. Martin is partners with Chris Ray at their production company called Motion Clubhouse where Martin and Chris work with clients such as DC Shoes, Fender, Ford, Nissan, GoPro, and more creating commercials, documentaries, branded content, and more.
In today's episode, Martin shares his discovery of skateboarding and filmmaking and how he managed to turn them into the career he has today. We dive into packing up his car and driving across the country to Huntington Beach, CA to pursue his filmmaking career, landing a job in the films department at DC Shoes, shooting Robbie Maddison's Pipe Dream, starting Motion Clubhouse, shooting one of the biggest podcasts in the world (HubermanLab), his favorite camera gear, and a whole host of other topics.
Martin is truly a kind, humble, and determined filmmaker who has carved out a very successful career for himself within the action sports world, and it was wonderful hearing his journey and the ups and downs that he's endured throughout it!
