cool to see Anselme Baud's name popup. His guidebook is nuts - especially the green lines.
Can't wait for wider distribution on the movie

Maybe if this film is well received, we might see more stuff like it in the future.
Takes more work, but has more shelf life, IMO.
On the other hand I will never stop buying TGR and MSP. Steep is one movie; TGR and MSP have been doing ski movies for decades and have moved skiing further then anything (WM?). If you go to any ski area in the world you see people trying to be the star in their own private TGR and MSP movie in their minds. TGR and MSP are the artists and Steep is making a very good copy with some new colors. However, my movie always has Kevin Andrews in it.
(feel free to add jokes here:rolleyes2 )

Back to the topic at hand. Steep. yah. stoked.

I've looked around on the web to find something about a tour or other screenings and I haven't found a thing. I'd watch the Documentary Group website for info on new showings.Quote:

Anyone want to meet up and grab a few beers before the show?
Pumped to see it tomorrow, 945
Let us know. The trailers look like it should be a great film. I am curious how it will change the way films are done in the future. Hopefully it will be in Utah soon.
yesQuote:

werd.
alright all
twins @ 8ish
all my fleece is packed away so no idea how you will recognize me.
I am that guy
{someone insert a pic here]
looking forward to meeting you 11s.
good to hang with spc,
didnt see anyone else at the bar or the movie.
so I liked this movie, but it wasnt as good as I thought it would be.
Very 'merica (fuck yeah) focused.
the Briggs stuff was stunning, prolly the best part of the movie.
I wish they would have spent more time on the crazy Franchies around Cham.
also the wetern canada stuff was good but I would have liked more on Pehota and Lot of time on Blizzard of Ahhs, I dont remember Plake wearing eyeliner when i met him before.....
Good segments on Coombs and his contributions, lot of MSP archival footage but no TGR, although he mentioned TGR after as one of the compnies doing good ski films now but different from what he did.
TGR guys, Did you guys conciously not work with him?
Hung around after and did Q & A with the writer/producer.
they really want to do theatrical release and DVD production, but they have not been picked up yet
Thanks for the review Woodsy.
What was the coverage about Briggs? Just the Grand, or his descents first descents of South, Middle, Grand, Owen, and Moran?
They used two of Gramps' photos in the flick. We rented a plane last spring to shoot aerial footage and photos, and sold a couple photos to them.
It was just the Grand. But they had a lot of face time with him now, interviews.... Briggs had the most infectious personality in the entire movie i think. Grandfatherly and with an unmistakable twinkle of life.
no homo- but def made me want to give him a hug. i hugged woodsy (surregate briggs) instead.
the "dude with a pony tail" thoughts and segment were awe inspiring
I hadno idea she dropped that line right after Hugo cartwheeled out of it.
definately go see, I think I just expected Riding Giants,m and its not.
definately hope it gets wide release though, if anyone knows anyone, put a bug in their ear.
He is a very genuine and generous person. We spent significant time with him over multiple days when we interviewed him last year. I feel lucky to have gotten to know him a bit.Quote:

He's an original ski bum, who dedicated his life to the activity. He still skis and teaches at Snowking, and lives across the street from the hill. Classy guy.
I can't wait to wrap my eyes around this one.
Here's a short article on it:

bumping this for exactly one month to general release by Sony Pictures Classics in the top 25 markets in the US. Can't fucking wait
may be redundant, but here is the trailer they emailed over to us... didnt see it in this thread, but i am an idiot...
Trailer...
We should have a Maggot takeover at whatever theater it opens in.
Ha!
I've gotta say, I agree!Quote:

Here is a review I found over at OffPisteMag.com More of the same "it's good"

Looking forward to hearing more from Briggs too.
Amazing film. Caught it at the Vancouver film fest in September...
Saw a pre-screening of it last week, and was very impressed. It's well-told, well-shot, and really crafts a story. The film itself is pretty heavy, and toll the mountains have taken might turn away the interest of some of the mainstream viewers. As a friend said, "as a backcountry skier, I'm not about to tell my parents, hey, this is what I do". Some of that will definitely serve as a caution to gapers thinking "oh hey, I can do that," but all-in-all, it's very well done. It really goes a long way to capturing the freedom, self-reliance and adventure in the backcountry.
