Stephanie Gilmore won her first surfing world championship event at age 17 on a day off from high school. Over the next four years she led the sport, claiming consecutive world titles as the undisputed champion, until a violent turn of events abruptly ended her winning streak. Stephanie in the Water is an intimate documentary film, produced by Alicia Van Couvering, that chronicles Gilmore’s return to the top and the costs that come along with being the best.
   “In 2013, women made up just a quarter of producers and a mere 15 percent of executive producers of Hollywood’s 250 top grossing films. These statistics are dismal, and the saddest part is that they’ve remained basically static since the late ‘90s—which is why it’s especially heartening to hear about a smart, successful, independent producer like Alicia Van Couvering, whose work is often female-focused and never dull.” - Elle
   “A great film. Interview and activity scenes of life on the pro-surfing circuit are juxtaposed against the subtle beauty of wave-riding. Classic surf-vibe music plays over extended scenes of Gilmore cutting her way through the water. These scenes are almost transcendent.” - TruthNCinema
