We were lucky enough to feature director Mike Mills in the upcoming winter issue of Wilder. Mills is the director of one of my favorite films, Thumbsucker, as well as the 2011 flick Beginners starring Ewan McGregor and Oscar-nominated Christopher Plummer. With hideaways in both Silver Lake and Lake Tahoe, Mills has a true appreciation for all things wild.
“Gary Snyder writes about this idea that there’s no better way to get connected to the wilderness than to be afraid of a mountain lion or a bear. That really reprioritizes our lives in such a radical way. When I’m walking back home through the snow and see a bear print over my track I’m like, “Fuck!” That unravels this world of the internet that we’re stuck in.”
