Phantom.

What does it mean to be a woman in the climbing community? Or, in society as a whole?

For years, I have been questioning why I do certain things. Letting my male (climbing) partners take decisions that I was fully capable of taking myself, or shaving my legs.

Does society dictate these things, or do I let society dictate?

I believed that a female climbing partner would solve my struggles. But this search made me blind. The only solution was to be found within me, by changing my own perspective, by empowering myself.

With this film I hope to inspire people to think about these complicated questions and to find out what it means to be themselves and follow their dreams.

Explorable Explanation of Game Theory.

If there's one big takeaway
from all of game theory, it's this:

What the game is, defines what the players do.
Our problem today isn't just that people are losing trust,
it's that our environment acts against the evolution of trust.

That may seem cynical or naive -- that we're "merely" products of our environment -- but as game theory reminds us, we are each others' environment. In the short run, the game defines the players. But in the long run, it's us players who define the game.

So, do what you can do, to create the conditions necessary to evolve trust. Build relationships. Find win-wins. Communicate clearly. Maybe then, we can stop firing at each other, get out of our own trenches, cross No Man's Land to come together...
