Applications are open for Season 4 of TREW To You, a grassroots ski and snowboard film contest supporting emerging filmmakers across North America. Five selected teams will each receive $1,000, full outerwear and gear packages, and direct mentorship from industry professionals to produce short films highlighting mountain communities. The program, created by Portland-based TREW Gear, counters high-budget, athlete-driven productions and centers local stories. The winning film receives a $15,000 filmmaking grant and access to expanded mentors. Projects premiere in hometowns before joining a regional tour, with winners chosen by audience vote and a judges' panel. Applications close December 3, 2025.
"Applications are now open for Season 4 of TREW To You, a grassroots ski and snowboard film contest that has rapidly grown into a launchpad for emerging filmmakers across North America. Five selected teams will each receive $1,000, full outerwear and gear packages, and direct mentorship from industry professionals to produce short films highlighting their mountain communities. The program, created by Portland-based TREW Gear, is designed to counter the high-budget, athlete-driven productions that dominate the ski film landscape."
""Traditional ski films focus on elite athletes with massive budgets," TREW Gear co-founder and CEO Chris Pew said. "TREW To You flips that model-we're funding the stories that actually matter to local communities. These filmmakers aren't just documenting stunts; they're capturing why skiing and snowboarding connect us." Now entering its fourth year, TREW To You has become a significant platform for new voices in mountain storytelling. Last season's tour brought the films to 2,500 attendees across seven cities in North America."
