Auburn filmmaker on a mission to introduce Maine’s lumberjills to the world

SUN JOURNAL • September 27, 2024

Breanna Wing, an Auburn-raised filmmaker, is working on a film about lumberjills, women involved in the timber sports industry. “A lot of the lumberjills are redefining society, with how they have navigated societal perceptions, their physical power, identity and family responsibilities,” Wing said. “They challenge gender norms. We want the kids to get excited, to get outdoors, get active, and get healthy,” she said. “A lot of timber sports do that.”
