Olympic Dreams
Filmed on location during the 2018 Winter Olympics in Athletes Village, this dramedy depicts an intimate and unexpected love story that develops between two lonely hearts while presenting a never-before-seen side of the Games and the people whose entire lives are shaped by them.
Alexi Pappas plays a first time Olympian and introverted cross-country skier, who, after finishing her event early on in the games, finds herself spending time in Athletes Village with the gregarious and outgoing volunteer dentist (Nick Kroll). While both are eager to form connections at the Olympic Games, they are held back by the very thing that has propelled them to this point; what do you do once your lifelong dream has come true, and you’re faced with taking the next step? As they navigate the vulnerable slopes, they push one another to embrace qualities they lost sight of in pursuit of their dreams. Will they be able to help each other take of leap of faith into the unknown?
“The pic is visually exciting and has a palpably organic quality that translates well to the screen. … A refreshing and confident piece of work.” ~The Hollywood Reporter
