What inspired the films name, Within Winter?
Naming things has always been a tough one for me.
Like Bros Who Ski" or Video of Things.
But eventually my smart ‘English-degreed’ sister came up with Within Winter.
I felt it resonated with the message of the film.
I wanted a simple name that conveyed what the film told.
That being that, skiing in its simplest form is about experience among others.
We dont go out and ski every day to be alone.
Skiing is so rad because it’s a way for us to share amongst our fellow peers.
What differentiates Within Winter from projects you have worked on in the past?
I made it the way it is because that what felt natural at the time.
As I learn more and pull from new inspirations my style changes.
I tried my best to make the best I could for the time.
I am sure my next work will carry new traits and slightly different style.
Well shooting with Nicky and Jonah is just a grand old time.
We dont have the slightest clue what were doing but we all smile a lot.
I think we all are roughly on the same page.
Working with these two is low stress.
Favorite part is the large amount of people creating great content.
It’s kinda a catch 22.
My least favorite is also the large amount of great content.
On one hand it’s great and rad.
But on the other hand it’s hard because there is so much content.
But all in all I like it.
Can we expect more Coterie films in the years to come?
Well I cant promise more Coterie.
Hopefully, but who knows.
Nicky and Jonah will be on board as well of course.
It will be our first year trying out sledding, we’ll see how it goes.

“If skiing was about fame, we would be actors.
If it was about fortune, we would be on Wall Street.
If it was about chicks, we would play football.”
