Caroline Treadway’s first film,
Light, is a long time coming. The director began to struggle with an eating disorder around the age of 13 or 14 but eventually started a process of recovery when she discovered climbing as a young adult. About ten years ago, while building a career as a writer and photographer focusing on outdoor sports, she pitched a story about eating disorders to multiple climbing magazines but none of them bit. It wasn’t until last year that Treadway, now 44, decided she was ready to make a film about the subject.
Light opens up a conversation about eating disorders that reaches far beyond the climbing community, which is a testament to all the time she simmered on the idea.
