Advocacy & Adventure Grants Program
TURNING CREATIVE AMBITION INTO WORK THAT MOVES.
Protect Our Winters
These projects were built to reach people through unconventional creative campaigns and move them to act. I ran the program end to end — from selection and budgets through production timelines, brand and partner coordination, and release — working closely with the athletes, filmmakers, and photographers behind each piece. The work required a constant balance: protect the creative vision, keep the production on track, and make sure the finished piece served the storyteller, partners, audience, and the organization's objectives.
Amie Engerbretson
The Hypocrite
Campaign development · Project management · Tour activation
A film built around the tension every climate advocate in the outdoor industry lives with: loving a sport that depends on a landscape its lifestyle helps erode. Amie's storyline put that conflict on screen, carried the film to festival awards, and became the work audiences asked for by name on tour.
