My short documentary, We are Crush, explored a women and non-binary rock climbing community in the Bow Valley and was screened at the 2020 Calgary International Film Festival, 2020 Oregon Short Film Festival, and the 2020 Edmonton Short Film Festival. I completed this short film during my Video Production practicum at the Banff Centre in 2019. I have also participated in the 2020 Calgary Independent Film Society's HERLAND mentorship program as a Director of Photography.
We Are Crush is an attempt to capture the supportive environment created by the Crush Collective in Banff, AB. Climbers are invited to be vulnerable together in the climbing gym. Every run is a puzzle waiting to be solved, and if the Crush Collective has anything to do with it, gender norms will not be part of the equation.
Expressing connections between human relationships and places through cinematic imagery is at the core of my creative work. I value building heartfelt and respectful relationships between creators and participants.
