After a full day of filming, our crew touched down at the Chugach Powder Guides hangar in Girdwood, Alaska. For the first time in Michelle Parker’s 19-year career, she rode in a helicopter of only women. With each segment, we heard the same feedback from athletes. “It’s special to be out here with so many women.” For many of us, this was the first experience of its kind. Nexus is produced and directed by women. The overwhelming majority of cinematographers, photographers and editors working on Nexus are female. Who better to tell women’s stories than female creatives?
Three women set out to ski in the Alaska range for their first time. Serving as their own guides they were excited to arrive on the glacier and were quickly humbled by the complex structure of the terrain. In a new setting, they reimagine what success looks like beyond the familiar expectations of adventure athletes. The mission? Thrive in new roles and progress as a team to test their limits as skiers and leaders. No trip is perfect but the most memorable ones evolve beyond sport.
All ticket sales are final.
