Bookmarks with Hank Bilous

From Afternoons, 2:30 pm on 19 June 2024

Our Bookmarks guest this week is multitalented adventurer Hank Bilous.

Hank grew up in Wanaka, where he tried every skiing discipline alongside his elder brother, Olympic freestyle skiier Finn.

Hank is the protagonist of new short film, The War on Style, which premiers at the NZ Mountain Film and Book Festival next month.

The War on Style explores technical skills and self expression through skiing, surfing, nursing, chess, skateboarding and more.

Hank draws inspiration music, art and a range of extreme sports and joins us to tell us all about it.
