Casey Puckett, four-time Winter Olympian and skiercross pioneer, talks to IndieFlix’s Lois Fein in his first interview since the January 9 injury that may have ended his Olympic dream.
Puckett, subject of the new IndieFlix documentary “Appointment in Vancouver,” suffered a substantial shoulder injury at a recent World Cup race in France and may not be able to participate in what would would be his fifth Olympic competition. He shares candidly with podcast interviewer Lois Fein about what this setback might mean for the upcoming Vancouver Olympics.
Beyond the story of Casey Puckett, 36-year-old father of two, the IndieFlix documentary “Appointment in Vancouver” examines the dangerous new Olympic sport skiercross and the athletes who risk serious injury on the slopes. Puckett has already sustained six injuries but remains determined to compete.
“I go to win, and hopefully this course might work out for me, especially if I can get my shoulder back. I mean, I was a wreck. I was in the operating room two days ago. I just came up against a whole other challenge, but the good thing, the good news is that when I went down, I was on top.” – Casey Puckett.
The podcast interview at showmeyourindies.com also featuers “Appointment in Vancouver” producer Seth Caplan and director Anna Christopher. The filmmakers talk about the process of bringing the film to the screen, their thoughts on Puckett’s chances, and their expectations for this year’s Olympic games.
