On a beautiful, blue-bird day in the Swiss Alps, a female athlete listens to the weather report over her morning coffee. After contemplating hitting the ski slopes with the other outdoor enthusiasts, she has an idea… she will go sledding instead. She digs her sled out from the back of the gear room and heads to the top of the mountain, where she is alone on top of the world. She drops in on her sled, headfirst.
Katie Tannenbaum is a professional skeleton athlete. She has long been inspired by mountain and adventure films, but recognized that she never saw her mountain sport represented in this space. She set out to change that with her first film, SLIDING.
