PAVING THE WAY - Documentary Short - Director & Editor - 2026

Set against the sweeping landscapes of the Flathead Indian Reservation, Indigenous youth transform new skateparks into sanctuaries of hope, resilience, and joy — one drop-in at a time.

PAVING THE WAY follows 20 year old Alison Kelly, a skateboarder, seamstress, and artist whose journey embodies creativity and determination. As she recovers from a surprising injury, Ali channels her healing into traditional art-making: tanning hides, crafting moccasins, and beading regalia by hand, all while yearning to return to the skateboard that once saved her. Through Ali's story and the voices of other young skaters across the Reservation, the film reveals how skateboarding becomes connection to inner resilience, artistic expression, and landscapes that teach us to try, fail, and try again.
