Dustin Foote is a documentary filmmaker, producer, and podcaster from New York. His work uses sports as a lens to tell stories about American culture, politics, and the human condition. He has directed two films; 32º, which covered the effects of climate change on the ski industry, and Locker Room Talk, about the intersection of sports, politics, and masculinity. His podcast, Sidelines, is a narrative series that explores sports stories and issues that lie outside the lines of play.
Dustin received his MFA in Documentary Filmmaking from Wake Forest University and his BA with honors in American Studies from Skidmore College. There, he was a member and captain of the Alpine Ski Team. He has returned to Skidmore for the past three years to guest lecture the Sports Cinema class in the American Studies department. Personally, he enjoys long runs, disc golf, skiing, and any other outdoor activity.
Professionally, Dustin’s career began as an associate producer for The Players’ Tribune, then a staff writer at Deadspin. He is currently a Video Producer for Columbia University’s Office of Public Affairs.
