Fresh to Frightening – The Sharon Green Story (19 mins)
A documentary short film by Gareth Kelly

Synopsis – The world of competitive yacht racing is fast, exciting, and glamorous. From the
America’s Cup to the Olympics to billionaires racing across exotic seas it is a world dominated by
men.
Gracing covers of yachting magazines the world over images of these sailboats and their crews
are captured by a small but elite group of yachting photographers – a profession also dominated
by men.
But in the early ’80s, inspired by her father’s Canada’s Cup triumph a young girl from Burlington
Bay Canada, Sharon Green, entered the fray. Ever since Green has established herself as one of
the finest yacht racing photographers of her generation, perfecting aerial photograpy.
