shifting lines

Directed by Heather Bayer, Produced by Cheyenne Smith

Shifting Lines is a short, grassroots documentary about the power of pursuing what you’re passionate about and learning to move through fear along the way. Set atop Vail Pass in Colorado’s backcountry, the film follows four athletes as they blend skiing and highlining into a bold, creative adventure. Built from the ground up by a tight-knit team of athletes and filmmakers, the project captures not adrenaline, but meaning, connection, and the elusive feeling of flow. At its core, Shifting Lines is about trusting your team, embracing discomfort, and following the pursuits that make you feel most alive.
