Award

I will be accepting an award for Finnish fiilmmaker Minna Dufton.

Her documentary BIG vs SMALL that tells a powerful story of a woman’s recovery as she surfs Portugal’s giant waves and overcomes her fears in Finland’s icy waters.

BIG vs SMALL was a winning pitch at Sunny Side of the Doc 2019 where I mentored Minna. BIG vs SMALLhas earned multiple awards since!

Congrats to Nancy Rosenthal, Founder & Executive Director of New York WILD Film Festival for her exciting program!

Hope to see you at the New York Explorers Club on Saturday April 9 for the screening award. New Yorker writer Carolyn Kormann is hosting a Q&A with Joana Andrade who rides the powerhouse waves at Nazaré, Portugal (home of the 100ft World Record Wave surfed by Garrett McNamara).
