Sherpas Cinema


Communications Manager

In Summer 2011 I joined Sherpas Cinema, half way through my work and travel visa while they were wrapping up production for their feature length documentary  All.I.Can and starting the post production. I volunteered as an intern for 3 months before being hired full time as their Communications Manager. 

My role for the post production was to take care of all graphic design assets from art work, merchandise and PR to assisting in the editing process of individual segments like the Greenland expedition.

I managed and re-structured the social media accounts and assisted in the premiere/tour management.

Blur the lines between dream state and reality, as you perceive the world through the minds of many. Into the Mind contemplates the experiences passed between mentors and peers to paint a philosophical portrait of human kind. What drives us to overcome challenge? How do we justify risk? What forces are at the core of a mountain addiction? Unique athlete segments over a multitude of mountain sport genres depict the connectivity of Earth, and window into never seen before moments. Explore how we begin our perception of self, construct the foundations of confidence, and are ultimately led up the path of self-actualization. As Buddha once said, “The mind is everything. What you think you become.” Into The Mind is about becoming.

In 2012 I took on the role as production manager for the new ride attraction "FlyOver Canada" that opened its doors to the public in Summer 2013.

As PM I created production schedules with the producers and director Dave Mossop, coordinated ground action on locations, scouted and managed locations including permitting and contacted and casted extras and supervised their coordination on set.  


Video Thumbnails

Part of my tasks was to create all assets for our online and social media presence with impactful video thumbnails for vimeo and youtube. 


Working with JP Auclair. This part is very personal, since JP died in September 2014 in an avalanche. I was not involved in filming which was done by Dave Mossop, director at Sherpas Cinema and JP Auclair alone.  I was working right next to JP Auclair when he was editing this outstanding segment of All.I.Can. A behind the scenes can be found below.  

JP Auclair was an outstanding human being to work and hang out with and hugely influential on my career and even more personal life. 

...in memory of one of the greatest humans ever created, truly, JP Auclair. An unbelievable skier, one of the absolute all-time best - but skiing was just a sliver of his talents, and the gifts he gave our world. His brilliantly creative mind understood the essence of progression, but it was his incredibly humble, kind, and humorous nature that brought it to reality. Hard working, optimistic, and always caring - for the environment, for humanity, for friends and family. This world needs more people like you my friend. _____________________________ From "All.I.Can." by Sherpas Cinema iTunes Download HD: http://itunes.apple.com/us/movie/all.i.can.-by-sherpas-cinema/id470509338 Blu-ray and DVD: order from http://www.sherpascinema.com All.I.Can Official Teaser --> vimeo.com/16442800 All.I.Can Teaser 2 --> vimeo.com/29320702 All.I.Can Teaser 3 --> vimeo.com/31835595 The Group Shred --> vimeo.com/54035990 Life Is Born --> vimeo.com/52728056 Segment Awards: "2012 CINEMATOGRAPHY AWARD" - Dave Mossop, Mountain Film Festival, Telluride CO "BEST POV" - JP Auclair, Powder Video Awards 2012 "AUDIENCE CHOICE AWARD - BEST ADVENTURE FILM" - Port Townsend Film Festival, 2012 All.I.Can Awards: "MOVIE OF THE YEAR" - Powder Video Awards 2012 "BEST FILM" - X-Dance Film Festival, SLC 2012 "BEST PICTURE" - International Freeride Film Festival, France 2011 "BEST FEATURE-LENGTH MOUNTAIN FILM" - Banff Mountain Film Festival 2011 "BEST FILM OF THE YEAR" - Adventure Film Festival, Copenhagen 2011 "PEOPLES CHOICE" and "BEST SKI FILM" - Fernie Film Festival, BC 2011 "BEST SKI FILM" - Adventure Film Festival, Boulder 2011 "BEST CINEMATOGRAPHY" - ESPN Fan Favorites 2011 "BEST CINEMATOGRAPHY" - International Freeride Film Festival, France 2011 "BEST CINEMATOGRAPHY" - X-Dance Film Festival, SLC 2012 "BEST DOCUMENTARY" - IF3 Film Festival Montreal 2011 "MOST INNOVATIVE VISUAL FX" - IF3 Film Festival Montreal 2011 "AMBASSADOR OF GREEN" - X-Dance Film Festival, SLC 2012 "FULL THROTTLE AWARD" - Kye Petersen, Powder Video Awards 2012 "BEST NATURAL AIR" - Kye Petersen, Powder Video Awards 2012 "BEST EDITING" - Powder Video Awards 2012 Press reviews: - "The best movie in skiing." - Jamey Voss, ESPN es.pn/pPxkbQ - "Like listening to a Zeppelin song." - John Stifter, Powder Magazine: bit.ly/nl0JiT - "The Sherpas are firmly in the lead of a new wave of filmmakers that are changing the face of ski films for good." - Leslie Anthony, Skier Magazine: bit.ly/mVaYsy - "Captivating.
