The film follows the lives of teen curlers (and BFFs) Sav Miley , Brook Aleksic , Amy Wheatcroft , Hannah Smeed and Ashley Dezura .

The idea came to Josephine Anderson when she herself took up the sport of curling in her late 20s .

The film was shot in two-to-three-month blocks over a 3 1/2-year period.

The film is a unique keepsake for those who took part.

It’s also a reminder of the importance of human connection and what it means to have some true ride-or-die pals in your corner.

Diane Dezura , who won a bronze medal at the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City and the 2000 World Championships with the Kelley Law rink, said the point of pride for her is the deep bond the girls created.
