In 2021, during my final year of high school, I created this short film as my “travail de maturité”. It’s a freeride skiing movie about how the mountains became an escape during the Covid period: while almost everything was closed, Swiss ski resorts stayed open and allowed my friends and me to keep moving, having fun and feeling free for a while. It was my first real “big” project, where I had to handle everything myself—from writing the idea to filming, organising the shoots and editing the final cut. I decided to keep it in my portfolio because it’s a small testament to where I started, and I still feel it holds up visually and emotionally today.
