  • This is my first short film! I made this earlier this year as a zero budget project in Vancouver with the help of very talented friends. I'm excited to share this with all of you!
    The film portrays a small vignette of what it's like as a first time woman backpacker. Stepping out of one's comfort zone can be a challenge, but when we choose courage over comfort we're rewarded with spectacular experiences!
    Special thanks to the cast and crew:

    This short film lauren ticked all the boxes.
    You have to accept all the what ifs,
    And trust your instincts.

    "Nothing to fear but fear itself" A good shortie. Keep going!

    It’s always the “be safe!” guy that’s hella creepier than anything else! I’d be looking over my shoulder to make sure he’s not following 😅
    But this fear is so real - I wish we weren’t taught that everything is out to get us.

    This was such a fun project to be a part of! Thank you Lauren for allowing me to bring Christina (city gal) to life! Hope to see many more films of yours in the future.

    You captured so well the fear of being out on trail alone-I’ve yet to work up the courage to backpack without friends or siblings. One day!

      Aw thank you! It’s definitely based on a true story haha. But the more you do it the more confident you get :) hopefully you get to try a solo trip someday!

      I hear you. That first trip and the first night are always memorable, but then you can learn to love it. 🌲🏕. This past year I found a wonderful woman who has a YT channel all about self defense while hiking/backpacking. I found it helpful. Check out Nicole Snell. I also found it in a YT search under ‘Nicole Snell self defense’. Sometimes just knowing you are never defenseless is a confidence booster. 👍

      Totally! I trained Brazilian jiu jitsu in the past and do boxing these days. I think knowing those definitely help with confidence. :) (not that I’m going to box with a bear or anything 😅)

    Nice! Good acting and excellent production values. 👍👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼. The actress really captured the fear that can take hold in that kind of situation, but having that ‘courage over comfort’ gives such amazing rewards. Well done!

    Great film. I'm so used to people filming themselves that even having a camera person in the woods added tension. Hope you get the opportunity to make more films...

    • @LaurenRoerick

      Thank you!! I had a lot of fun making this and learned a lot. :)

    Only anxiety I got was from the InReach hanging off her pack via a cheap carabiner. At least she was smart enough to not bother using it in the trees, because it will not work to text her friend. Speaking from experience... 🙄 Great effort on the vid!

    Guys shouldn’t freak women out by saying it isn’t safe to hike alone. She already knows this.

    I only say hello or just nod when I need a lone woman on the trail. No need to cause concern. Its sad tho that women have to keep safety in mind.

    • @LaurenRoerick
      @LaurenRoerick  Рік тому

      Agreed! That's probably the best practice, unfortunately. But good that you are aware of it :)

      Well the title does say “short film” so yes
