DIRECTOR SPOTLIGHT: Amie Engerbretson
Amie is one of those globe-trotting adventurers who effortlessly switches between being in front of and behind the camera. She's got her hands in everything from films to print to videos, and even hosts her own podcast! But she's not just about crushing it athletically; she's also super passionate about fighting climate change. In fact, her dedication to the cause earned her the 2021 Alliance Member of the Year award from Protect Our Winters for making a real difference in climate action.
We were extremely honored to screen the world premiere of her latest film ‘The Hypocrite’ last year at Coast Film and Music Festival 2023.

Amie Engerbretson's film, ‘The Hypocrite,’ delves into this intricate landscape, sparking contemplation on the challenges faced by environmental activists who also indulge in high-carbon activities.
"The Hypocrite" presents a compelling narrative that forces viewers to confront their own actions and beliefs. At its core lies a pressing question: Can one truly advocate for the environment while partaking in activities that contribute significantly to carbon emissions?
