FILM PROJECTS

“Advice for Girls” puts a spotlight on the collective experience of women in the ski industry. The film showcases advice from three generations of women in skiing. Each generation reminds women and girls of all ages that they are worthy of success, allowed to take up space, and are extremely valuable to the ski industry.

 

With an intersectional cast featuring all types of women – women of color, queer women, women with disabilities, and more – the crew hopes that everyone can find someone in the film to connect to. Featuring an all-female cast and crew, Advice for Girls is a must-see ski film for any skiing enthusiast.

"Chop Your Own Wood" is a heartfelt short film, celebrating the timeless wisdom of self-reliance and the joy of skiing. Made by a fem-centric team, it pays homage to working hard, tending to your aspirations, and the enduring lessons passed down through generations, reminding us that if you chop your own wood, it will warm you twice.
