May 3, 2022 - Filmmaker/Editors Anna Auster & Jared Dubrino (Holky: The Steven Holcomb Story)

“Holky: The Steven Holcomb Story” was the winner of BEST FILM at the Documentary Film Festival.

Steven Holcomb, known to his team and friends as “Holky”, is a bobsled driver from Park City, Utah, who emerges as an unlikely best hope to end Team USA’s 62-year Olympic gold medal drought. But Steven has a dangerous secret: He is going blind.

In the last interview conducted before he passed away at the age of 37, Steven tells his own story of rising through the ranks as a bobsled driver, hiding his blindness from his team as he becomes one of the best sled drivers in the world, his struggle with depression, and how, with the help of an experimental surgery, he overcomes his obstacles and captures gold before his untimely death.

At a time when society is finally beginning to discuss the mental health of athletes, the film makes an invaluable contribution to this important conversation.

Conversation with director Anna Auster and Producer/Editor Jared Dubrino on the making of the film.
