Problem
Olympic snowboarder Alena Zavarzina faced a career-ending decision at the peak of her sport. The documentary needed to capture the internal conflict of leaving everything you've trained for your entire life.
Truth
Even Olympians can't control life's slopes. The moments that define us aren't always victories. Sometimes the hardest decision is choosing to walk away from what defined you.
Idea
An intimate documentary following Alena's journey worldwide through festivals as she processed her career-ending decision. About fear, awakening, and realizing control is sometimes an illusion. Raw, human, universal.
