Supporting On Ice Perspectives:
I started On Ice Perspectives with the goal to learn more about film, and share my progress of filming skaters around the world. I never intended to generate revenue from social media, and I hold that belief to this day.
To date, I have never charged a skater to share their skating to On Ice Perspectives’ social media channels. I intend all of my videos to attract the attention of movie directors, writers, and producers, and to create my best work here, I need to feel that I have full creative control and license to share whomever, whatever, and wherever I’d like.
That said, publishing and maintaining content to this channel is a ton of work. I didn’t imagine that On Ice Perspectives would grow into the cultural zeitgeist as much as it has in the past five years, but I want to maintain its position as an inspirational figure skating channel.
By subscribing to my Patreon, you are not only helping me continue publishing content to On Ice Perspectives regularly, but are also helping me to further push the boundaries of what is possible to film on the ice. I currently spend all of my free time between jobs, researching and developing new techniques, and filming whomever and wherever I can for my social media channels.
My hope is to raise enough through monthly crowd funding to help me to sustain this pace of content creation. As mentioned above, I do not make any money from the skaters I publish, nor do I make much from social media at all, because most of the videos cannot be monetized due to music copyright restrictions.
Just $5/month from a small collection of people would go very far!
You can donate using the links below, including Patreon, which is a monthly membership, or single donations via PayPal and GoFundMe.
Thank you for your support!

Note: To date, On Ice Perspectives’ YouTube channel alone has received over 180 million views. These are from people who have been inspired by figure skating, and I hope to continue sharing this joy for generations to come.
