Twenty Three Point Four Degrees Film

My latest film project, 23.4 Degrees, is an ode to seasonal change and the outdoor community. I wrote and produced this short film, alongside filmmaker, Jeff Thomas,  and writer,  Leslie Anthony. Selected for Banff International Film Festival, 2023, and now available for viewing on Outside Watch. 


Finding The Line Film

Producer and Marketing Director
Released: October 2019

Finding The Line is a documentary film that uses skiing as a vehicle to discuss fear. I managed the development, production, post-production, film tour, and marketing of the film, together with co-producer, Nat Segal.

Throughout the film, I shared the marketing and brand liaison role with my co-producer. We worked closely with sponsors and publications such as K2 Skis, Destination BC, Whistler Blackcomb, Revelstoke Mountain Resort, Air New Zealand, Bollé Eyewear, Icebreaker Merino, Oyuki, Freeskier Magazine, and Backcountry Magazine to deliver marketing packages, which included photo and video content, editorial, social media collaborations and marketing videos.

I also worked on the ‘soft release’ of the film, including three key premieres in Whistler, Chamonix Mont-Blanc and Australia. In this role, I managed the events, sponsorship, PR, and marketing. At each event, we collaborated with partners to put together original and unique promotions. Five of the seven shows were sold out and we had a total in-person audience of 2,500 people. 

We have since sold the rights of the film to Red Bull TV.

I have broad experience in the outdoor industry, notably in brand management, communications, marketing, events and production within mountain sports. Across a 15-year career as an elite ski athlete and contracted marketing professional, I have worked with a number of outdoor and mountain-specific brands, which has given me deep insight and experience in the industry.Completing my university education in International Commerce and Liberal Arts while simultaneously competing at an international level in freeskiing, has equipped me with high-level problem-solving, effective planning, creativity, proactive communication, and efficient time management skills.I have worked in the areas of marketing strategy, digital marketing, media production, public relations, social media, and am extremely adept in conceiving and preparing proposals and negotiating contracts. I have managed budgets for a variety of projects, including yearly marketing budgets, corporate photo shoots, and film productions.I have successfully produced three mountain sport-focused films, which has given me the tools necessary to manage complex marketing and communication strategies, media opportunities, and organising associated promotional events.

Marketing Manager

I spent 10 years competing on the international Freeski circuit in Slopestyle skiing, winning Gold, Silver and Bronze at Winter X-Games, taking Gold at the FIS World Championships and placing 2nd on the AFP Overall World Tour (2012).

From 2012 to 2014 I worked with the Australian Institute of Sport and was part of the Olympic Winter Institute of Australia’s sport scholarship programs. In 2014 I made my debut as an Olympic athlete for Australia at the Sochi Winter Olympics Games (placing 4th). This was an experience I will never forget. However, it also marked the end of an era. 

After the Olympics I branched out to develop my backcountry skiing skills, and moved to Whistler in order to pursue freeride skiing for the camera.

I hold a degree in Liberal Arts & Commerce (Monash University, 2015) and I have adapted the skills I learnt at university to produce outdoor content. I co-produced my first feature film, Finding The Line (2018) alongside my sister, Nat Segal. The film has been screened at film festivals and events across the world and was recently purchased by Red Bull Media House. 

I more recently produced and skied in the short film, 23.4 Degrees, which was selected as a finalist for the 2023 Banff Mountain Film Festival and is currently available to watch out Outside Watch's online channel.

23.4 Degrees is a short outdoor film that explores our innate human affinity with seasonal change and the role it plays in connecting our modern lifestyle to the natural world.

As the film’s Producer, I assembled the creative team, created the film pitch, raised finances, handled contracts, sponsorship deliverables, budgets, timelines, film screenings, and distribution.

As the film’s co-writer I worked with Leslie Anthony, a prolific naturalist and environmental author, to write the film’s script and adjust it to the visuals captured by the cinematographers.

The Copeland is a small boutique lodge, located in the heart of Revelstoke, British Columbia. The most recent owners of The Copeland wanted a complete rebrand of the property and business. The goal was to convey the old world charm of the heritage building, mixed with the new world amenities and comforts the lodge offers. I was responsible for renaming, rebranding and establishing this new venture.
