The Weak Layers Australia and New Zealand film tour kicks off on June 12 with the film screening in Sydney, Brisbane, Gold Coast, Canberra, Jindabyne and Melbourne on Australia’s East Coast and Wanaka and Queenstown in New Zealand’s South Island. Best of all? Katie will be at every screening for a post film Q&A turned stand-up.
Canadian Burrell wrote and directed Weak Layers and also stars as Cleo Brown a ski town local in her 30s living the dream (until she’s not). Evicted from her home and living in a van, she takes on adventure industry’s elite in a bid to win life changing dollars in an adventure film competition and finds surprising love and loss along the way.
With starring roles from Hollywood names Neal Bledsoe, Jadyn Wong and Evan Jonigkeit alongside hilarious cameo appearances from world famous
skiers including Cody Townsend, Elyse Saugstad, Jonny Moseley and friends. The female led comedy champions the underdog in a progressive throwback to the cult ski movie classics of Hot Dog…The Movie and Aspen Extreme.
Burrell wittily dissects modern, male-driven ski culture while lifting up the tight-knit local communities found in ski towns the world throughout. If
ever there was an ode to mountain town life, this is it.
