The Girl Outdoors at Shextreme Film Festival

I am so, so excited (and let’s be honest, a little bit awe-struck) to be speaking at the Shextreme Film Festival next month, alongside Squash Falconer and Jenny Jones. The first and only film festival dedicated to celebrating women in extreme sports and adventure. I’ll also be teaching at the festival’s filmmaking class. Come get some girl power.
