Making mountain films is much like the adventures we embark upon outdoors. We begin at the base with a broad idea and work our way to the top, refining our concept until we reach the peak, where we have the opportunity to share what we’ve made with the world. Filmmaker Trixie Pacis shares her journey and recent experiences producing/directing her first three short outdoor documentary films — from developing stories (the base) to distributing them on the mountain festival circuit (the peak). The second half of the workshop will transition into a free-flowing group discussion. Participants will have an opportunity to ask Trixie anything about her experience (particularly with story development, production, direction, or festival distribution). More than just a Q&A, participants are encouraged to engage in conversation about their own projects by pitching ideas, asking for input, and exploring actionable next steps. Stick around after from 1:30-3:30pm for the January 2025 KSBI Meetup and watch Trixie’s short docs Wild Aerial (16m) and Wildflowers (37m), followed by a Q+A and networking. ABOUT TRIXIE PACIS:
Trixie Pacis is a filmmaker, photographer, and writer based in Kimberley, British Columbia, focusing on documenting unheard personal and environmental stories. Her documentary films, Wildflowers and Wild Aerial, are set to premiere at the 2024 Banff Centre Mountain Film Festival, while her third film, Ahon, will debut at the Vancouver International Mountain Film Festival in February 2025. With over a decade of experience, Trixie has worked with various media outlets, including Los Angeles Magazine and Drive Films, before transitioning to a freelance career. She has collaborated with global clients, from film producers to travel agencies. As the Director of Acquisitions and Programming for ChimeTV, America’s first Asian American and Pacific Islander cable channel, she promotes AAPI culture and representation. In recognition of her contributions, she received L.A. TV Week’s 40 Under 40 Award in 2023. Trixie’s screenplay, Vile & Sweet, won Best Ghost Story at Horror Fest International in 2020, and she participated in the Banff Centre Adventure Filmmakers’ Workshop in 2021.
