Mountain in My Mind returns with their 4th full-length film; however, this year’s offering is unlike anything MIMM has ever created before. Filmed over a 2 year period, MIMM4 pulls back the curtain on the series’ Director and Producer, John Padilla. The film follows John as he navigates life and his recovery after shattering his right leg in a horrific hit-and-run accident. This stranger-than-fiction story focuses on themes of resilience and finding one’s people, purpose, and place.

Mountain in My Mind (MIMM) is a ski and snowboard film series about mental health created by innovative Director, John Padilla. John lost his fifteen year old brother, Jack, to suicide on February 14th of 2019. Since then, John has dedicated his life to erasing the stigma behind mental health and bringing the teen suicide rate to zero. John and his family chose to try and tell Jack’s story far and wide in an effort to reach these goals. The Rocky Mountain states lead the country in youth suicide rates per capita. If you hone in further on ski communities, you will unfortunately discover that these communities are affected by suicide rates that are even higher than their statewide averages. This region has been dubbed as North America’s “suicide belt.”
