Michael Lienau, Co-Founder
Michael is passionate about telling stories of man encountering the raw power of nature — and living to tell about it.
Following the 1980 Mount St. Helens eruption, Michael was with the first camera crew to capture the devastation from the volcano’s blast. Nearly costing his life, a 4-hour photo mission became a 4-day struggle for survival after the mountain unexpectedly exploded in its second largest eruption. Amidst ash and blinding darkness, Michael had a encounter that dramatically changed his life and launched his film career.
