Shannon Corsi is the Executive Producer and Director of this season's most talked about ski film, Nexus.   Nexus is a narritive driven project featuring four specific stories of women in the ski industry.   The overwhelming majority of cinematographers, photographers and editors working on Nexus were female. Who better to tell women’s stories than female creatives?  Shannon tells us how she, as a relative outsider to the ski industry, managed to raise a tonne of money, curate a handful of intriguing stories and create one of the most relatable, the most needed and one of the best films of the year.    The answer is  "Unhinged Confidence".

Emily Childs is one part of the three person crew of fun loving, hard charging skiers, The Blondes.   Earlier this year The Blondes released their film, "How Did We Get Here?" , which answers that exact question, sharing a quick look into the histories of the three athletes and friends.  Emily had a busy winter this year with several big ski trips and a lot of time spent in helicopters.  It's not exactly what you think though.  When not skiing spines in Alaska or shooting promo photos she works as a helicopter pilot and talks about the process of getting her licence.  Em also tells us about growing up at Troll Ski Resort, a small little area in BC that was founded by her Grandfather and operated by her mom.
