THIS IS BETH DIRECTOR Jen Randall PRODUCERS Sarah Steele & Noam Argov
Have you ever woken up one morning and decided to share a picture of your cellulite and untoned stomach with 50,000+ people on social media? Ya, us neither, but legendary climber Beth Rodden started to do this weekly. “This is Beth” is an intimate character-piece celebrating a vulnerable side of professional climber Beth Rodden: from a young, send-at-all-costs athlete, to a mother determined to ‘normalize normal’ when it comes to our bodies and happiness. Weaving Beth’s new, playful approach to climbing on the boulders of Yosemite with sequences of daily life, archive and interview, this short film explores Beth’s remarkable journey towards finding self contentment and changing the outlook on body image in the climbing community.
