TGR's First Movie.

Ok, this question has been bugging me. TGR, I read online that your first movie had a budget of over $100,000. Why? Were did the guys get these funds and why did they need this much money?

Um, heli time is expensive. Film is expensive. Getting a film crew and a bunch of athletes from place to place is expensive. Plus then there's editing, licensing music, marketing, etc etc...

It all adds up - $100K doesn't sound like a lot to me to shoot a movie.

there have been a few articles about the story of tgr in powder mag, and i think i remember reading that the first venture was at least partially funded by commercial fishing in alaska.
