Kai Jones’ Falling Into Place Documentary Selected for the Prestigious Banff Centre Mountain Film Festival
Continued Recognition
Jackson Hole, WY — October 2025 — Teton Gravity Research (TGR) announces that Falling Into Place has been officially selected for the Banff Centre Mountain Film and Book Festival, a premier showcase of mountain culture. After a near-fatal 2023 crash, teenage freeride phenom Kai Jones battles through rescue, surgeries, and relearning to walk—ultimately forging a comeback in this raw 59-minute documentary. Directed by Todd Jones and Clayton Vila, the film pairs high-consequence skiing with an intimate look at family, mentorship, and the decisions that shape a big-mountain athlete.
Strong run on the Festival Circuit
Falling Into Place has already earned 6 awards across 9 festivals, including:
- Best Adventure Documentary — Breckenridge Film Festival
- Best Action Documentary — Winter Park Film Festival
- Audience Choice — Coast Film Festival
- Best Documentary — Wyoming International Film Festival
“Banff is the gold standard for mountain film,” said Kai Jones. “Sharing this story there—where so many of my heroes have premiered—means everything.”
“TGR was built to elevate authentic mountain voices,” added Todd Jones. “Kai’s journey embodies that spirit—raw talent shaped by discipline and respect for the terrain. We’re honored Banff recognized the film.”
