Films Being Shown at October First Friday

- "Jack the Ripper", "Davin is Feelin Good", "Road to 64 Barbara Schreidegger" and "Joe Does Yoga" by Nate Cordero: Nate Cordero has called Summit County home for over 15 years. His journey into filmmaking began with snowboarding, capturing moments on the mountain with his friends, and it quickly became a passion that transformed into a full-fledged career. You’ve likely seen him around Silverthorne at First Fridays or at other local events, often juggling multiple cameras, capturing the heart of the community. In addition to the Town of Silverthorne and the Art Spot, he also collaborates with Breck Create, Eldora Mountain Resort, and many of the County's talented musicians. Today, we’re excited to showcase four of his passion projects, each one telling the story of incredible individuals living out their lives. (15 minutes long)
- "Riders in the Sky" by Trento Meiron
- "Rocky Mountain Shredders" by Branden James (8 minutes long)
- "Scott's Morning Brew" and "Ski A Line, Paint a Line" from Issac Roy's "Beware of the Locals" series: “Beware of The Locals” is a film project from local filmmaker Isaac Roy. The idea is that the true celebrities aren't the ones posted on the front of magazines or in Hollywood, but the celebrities worth watching are right here in Summit County. The people working two jobs and constantly fighting against the constraints of a mountain town. The locals who keep everything running but won't be recognized for it. If you're in this room and you show up to keep this County on its feet, these films are for you. (10 minutes long)
- "Bucket Clips" by Rosina Friedel and Drew Hooker: Bucket Clips is an innovative and collaborative project designed to empower female skiers and highlight their exceptional talent. It showcases the best skiing clips submitted by skiers from around the world. The film celebrates the often-overlooked talents outside of competitive skiing and spotlights the vibrant and dynamic side of women in skiing, proving that they’re not just pushing boundaries—they're dominating both the urban streets and the backcountry. (18 minutes long)
- "Feel It All" by Drew Peterson: "Feel It All" chronicles professional skier Drew Petersen’s journey from the depths of suicidal depression to finding purpose, strength, and resilience by setting a goal to run the Leadville Trail 100 ultramarathon. Through blending the experience of skiing the highest 14,000-foot peaks in Colorado that surround the Leadville 100 course with the emotional, immersive story arc of running one of the most iconic 100-mile ultramarathons on the planet, the film shows how within the struggle of living with mental illness lies an opportunity to access an infinite, inexhaustible well of strength to achieve our limitless potential. The film aims to ultimately create powerful cultural change around mental health awareness and suicide prevention. (38 minutes long)
