 After
Lesley McKenna’s superb SECOND World Cup
victory last week (putting the recent achievements of some our
skiers, admirable as they are, into perspective) interest is building
in the new all-girl snowboarding movie coming out next year.
McKenna is the mastermind behind DropStitch,
the first feature length international snowboard film showcasing
the world's best female snowboarders, which has been filming in
NZ this summer.
Filmed over a year in Iceland, NZ, Eastern Europe,
Scandinavia, The United States, and the European Alps, DropStitch
is documenting the lifestyle of professional snowboarders being
pushed to their limits.
 DropStitch
shows girls who have taken a male dominated sport and made it their
own against all the odds. Snowboarding is the path they have taken
to help them fulfil their aspirations and live their lives in an
independent and unconventional way – pretty much how modern
women look at life in general today.
It's about bringing talent, inspiration and devotion
to the public, introducing snowboarding to girls who have never
tried, and inspiring those who have, to follow their dream.
Watch out for more on this movie as we near the
premiere in September 2004.
