I met Jp Auclair last summer while interning for Sherpas Cinema. He came to the office to edit his segment for Into the Mind (he edited his own segment from All.I.Can. too) and spent the whole summer chipping away on what would become another beautiful example of his talent as an athlete and filmmaker. One of my favourite traditions from that summer was our afternoon ride: almost every day wed take a break from the computer and ride a 20 minute loop on our bikes. It ended up becoming a bit of a race and JP would consistently smash out fast times. The last time I saw JP was at the Whistler premiere of Into the Mind. I introduced him to my friend Jonas and, JP, quoting a study he read saying that hugging longer than 20 seconds creates an emotional bond between people, hugged him for 30 seconds and made yet another person feel as if theyd just made a new best friend. JP was a badass skier, a visionary filmmaker, and most importantly an immensely kind person. I feel lucky to have got to know him a little bit and I wish I could go on one more bike ride with him. Thanks for the inspiration JP.
