Inefficient Joy is an experimental ski film that explores the paradox of devoting so much time and energy to something as fleeting as the moments we pursue throughout the winter. In doing so, it questions why we do this and reveals the inexplicable joy that skiing brings.

There are as many paths as there are people. Some choose to be carpet salesman, others choose to be skiers. These behaviors are part of life's routine, and consciously or not, we're all slaves to it somehow. But you can't have the result without the process- you must get up to go down. Let this be your field guide to the minutia, the frivolities and of course the addiction to pure, uncut, freedom. Go ahead, scratch that itch. Because after all, we are creatures of HABIT.
