#BACKCOUNTRYFILMFESTIVAL

“We’ve been a little quiet lately… but it’s because we’ve been working hard with @sierranevada and @winterwildlandsalliance to launch the first ever human-powered film grant!

Wild stories are told to connect individuals, communities, organizations, businesses, and more. Too often those connections don’t reflect all of the human-powered voices in our lives and outdoor spaces. Connection is built through representation. Our Human-Powered Film Grant provides financial support for these kinds of connecting stories.

Let’s bring all voices into and out of the backcountry for all snow seasons to come.

Read all about how to submit your film at our link in bio! Submissions are due March 15.”
