“It was and it wasn’t. The focus of this film has changed quite a few times, which is often the case with documentaries. It’s been quite a vulnerable process to have someone else film, create, and put this out into the world but in the end that’s the process of practicing courage. The willingness to be vulnerable and portray the universal emotions, struggles, and aspirations we all share. Hopefully, young girls out there will see themselves in that and use it in a way that will help guide them to find their passion and path forward.”

 

“For quite some time I wanted to make a short film that would zero in on the more personal, vulnerable, and human nuances behind extreme sports rather than highlighting the extreme facts that naturally come with the sport itself. For me, it’s been a lifelong process of exposing myself to my fears and learning how to embrace and evolve through them all rather than avoiding them. There are often many preconceptions about fear and the belief that people in extreme sports don’t have them. I guess I wanted to give voice to a different perspective, that with a curious and open mind, fear can become our greatest teacher and asset, no matter who we are.”
