WAVES & ICE
Follow your passion.
We are a group of women who share a passion for the outdoors, adventure and art. With Waves and Ice we do not only want to show our stories but also inspire other women to follow their passions, even if it seems that the area their passions lie in are mostly male dominated.
Waves and Ice is a short film with an all female crew and protagonists. Filmmaker Sabine M. Probst accompanied five adventurous, nature loving women on their journey through the Icelandic wild whilst creating stunning images, surfing freezing cold waves, hiking up and snowboarding down mountains, diving icy waters and mastering all obstacles which appeared on their way.

With Waves and Ice we want to be an inspiration for other women to follow their passions. The sports shown in the film like snowboarding, surfing and diving are quite male dominated as well as surf and outdoor photography. All of us know women or have been the woman which had doubts to try something because it seemed like something a girl or woman would not do. Either because we did not see any other females doing it or because we were afraid to be treated differently than the guys.
Most sport films are filmed by men, for men, starring men. We wanted to change that, waves and ice is a production by women only, to inspire other women to be themselves, follow their passions and explore new things. Even though we are not sponsored athletes or creators, we are passionate, we know what we want and we do the things we do because we love them. The film is not about showing off or being the best, but rather about our passions and the support we gave each other.
At the moment the filmmaker of Waves & Ice is running a crowdfunding campaign to raise some money for film festival submissions. The film team did get supported by some product and discount sponsoring, yet they financed the production by themselves. Now the film is almost finished and can soon be submitted to film festivals, for this they need financial help in order to spread the films message. They are very thankful for the brands who already supported them and appreciate every help they can get to make it possible for the project to be widely seen.
