WHY THIS FILM IS IMPORTANT

Waves and Ice shall be an inspiration for other women to follow their passions. The sports shown in the film like snowboarding, surfing and diving are quite male dominated as well as surf and outdoor photography. All of us know women or have been the woman which had doubts to try something because it seemed like something a girl or woman would not do. Either because we did not see any other females doing it or because we were afraid to be treated differently than the guys.

Most sport films are filmed by men, for men, starring men. We wanted to change that, waves and ice is a production by women only, to inspire other women to be themselves, follow their passions and explore new things. Even though we are not world class sponsored athletes or creators, we are passionate, we know what we want and we do the things we do because we love them. The film is not about showing off or being the best, but rather about our passions and the support we gave each other.

WHY WE ARE CROWDFUNDING

We want to inspire women all over the world to follow their passions and for them then to inspire others. We are crowdfunding because we know this message can be spread wider and is more powerful with all hands on deck.

We already filmed the whole film and it is now in the post-production. We are thankful for the sponsors who gave us discounts or products, yet everything else was self funded. Now we are at the end stage of the production and soon ready for the release to film festivals. We want to spread the message as far as we can and submit to film festivals all over the world. 

Since the production was quite expensive there is no money left for the submission fees of festivals. 

We hope that with your help we can raise enough money so submit to a lot of festivals and share our message.

We are thankful for every donation, follow and share we get!

We are stoked to have you on the journey with us!
