The new Olympic Channel documentary, Deanna’s Dream, follows Deanna Stellato-Dudek’s incredible and impossible comeback journey. Filmmaker Alex Gale and his team documented a full year of Stellato’s journey after her and Maxime Deschamp’s historic win at the 2024 World Figure Skating Championships.

Gale spent some time with me to talk through the behind-the-scenes of documenting Stellato’s journey, what made him interested in her inspirational story, and how something like this comes together for him as a sports documentarian.
