Sasha traces his filmmaking journey back to film school and highlights the technical demands of shooting action sports, especially in tough environments like Baja. He recalls early successes using high-frame-rate technology and working on viral hits like the Recoil series and Ken Block’s Gymkhana series—though he also voices frustration over projects that never saw release.
