Jim Mangan

Filmmaker and photographer Jim Mangan grew up in La Grange, Illinois, but headed west to Colorado to attend college and to pursue his passion for snowboarding and the mountains. His first two films, City. Park City. (2006), and I Ride Park City (2008), were both official selections of the X-Dance Film Festival, where they were nominated for multiple awards, including "Best Emerging Filmmaker" and "Best Soundtrack." After a long career in the snowboarding industry, in which he worked progressively as a sponsored and competitive athlete, terrain park designer, art director, team manager, marketing director, and eventually, a filmmaker, Mangan left the snowboarding business to focus his attention on a series of fine art projects.  Mangan work is in the collections of MoMA in New York and Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago as well as internationally, and has exhibited at the Sundance Film Festival.
