DEAR SUPERHERO
ABOUT THE FILM
When The North Face skier Janina Kuzma becomes pregnant, she must grow into her new identity as a mother. Wrestling with the fear of losing her job as a pregnant mountain guide or being judged as a professional athlete, Janina still finds peace in the mountains.

LET MY PEOPLE
GO SKIING
ABOUT THE FILM
Confronted with the frustration of false narratives and intergenerational trauma that surround her, Tlingit skier and scientist Ellen Bradley returns to her traditional homelands in Southeast Alaska. Here, she uses skiing as a tool to reclaim her connection to the land she belongs to.
Weaving ancestral knowledge, scientific understanding, and passion for her sport, we follow Ellen’s journey to help her community reclaim its place at the forefront of the stories told about their homelands.

THAT ONE FRIEND
ABOUT THE FILM
Professional backcountry skier Sierra Schlag has built a career around focus, grit, and always chasing the next big line. She takes her job — and her skiing — seriously. But behind every dialed athlete is that one friend who keeps it light.
For Schlag, that’s Waverly Chin — aka Waves — her funky, free-spirited best friend who shows up with snacks, silliness, and a reminder not to take life (or skiing) too seriously. While Schlag charges couloirs and checks off objectives, Waves is there to remind her that skiing is supposed to be fun.
That One Friend is a fun and lighthearted look at friendship, balance, and the beauty of not taking ourselves so seriously, because sometimes, we all need that one friend.
Featuring Sierra Schlag and Waverly Chin
