After a full day of filming, our crew touched down at the Chugach Powder Guides hangar in Girdwood, Alaska. For the first time in Michelle Parker’s 19-year career, she rode in a helicopter of only women.

With each segment, we heard the same feedback from athletes. “It’s special to be out here with so many women.” For many of us, this was the first experience of its kind.

Nexus is produced and directed by women. The overwhelming majority of cinematographers, photographers and editors working on Nexus are female. Who better to tell women’s stories than female creatives?
