Head for the Hills was really good.
I'm surprised to see a few people hating on some of this year's flicks considering, and I'm sure everyone is agreement that attended IF3, all of the movies brought something to the table that was new and exciting.
A few thoughts:
-MLP's Broadcast was so refreshing. It was fun, the skiing was incredible, and the narration was hilarious! Buy this movie!
-Stept and 4bi9 both stepped it up this year. The Martinis continue to get more creative with their filming and their skiing every year. Oh and as far as 4bi9 goes... T-Wall and Harlaut's segments are something people will be watching and rewatching for the rest of this season. Buy these movies.
-Turbo. Wow. Turbo. Level 1 in Alaska. A great mix of powder, park, urban, and back country. L1P continues to have the most loyal and dedicated crew of skiers around. Buy this movie.
-Reasons was really cool. Don't believe the hate in here. If you love skiing, there's really no reason (sorry for the pun) you won't love this film. There's something for everyone and its so nice to see the Poor Boyz guys finally step out of their winning and proven mold and do something different. This film deserved film of the year because theyBuy this movie.
-Head for the Hills - Radio Ron, Shea Flynn, Giray Dadali, Andy Perry, and the rest of the Meatheads crew killed it. However there is one thing Head for the Hills did that Turbo also did and that's show the world that Will Wesson is one of the most progressive and creative urban rail slayers on the planet. Buy this movie.
-Outdoor Education by Voleruz is another fun flick that mixes skiing, snowboarding, and skateboarding. With all the recent Danny Kass nonsense thats been floating around, its nice to see that people of all sports can have a great time together. Download this movie for free over at Voleurz.com.
-The Massive - umm, its Tanner Hall. Why wouldn't you buy it? CP's cinematography is the type of stuff to make even Hollywood heads turn.
-Hunting Yeti - More fun and if you think they gave everything away and you've seen everything in the webisodes, you are very mistaken. I really like what these guys are doing and as I stated above, it's refreshing.
-and last but not least, I'd like to give a huge digital high five to my new friend, Mr. Jeff Thomas over at Theory 3. Jeffy churned out such a great flick with Journal and to be honest, no words I type here can really justify what I saw. Great job buddy.
The truth is, I saw so many films this weekend that now every time I close my eyes I see an epic shot in my head. Instead of hating on certain films, why don't we all step back and be thankful we have so many good and talented people in our industry that are churning out different flicks. I mean, I, for one, am so glad to see the days of shot, shot, shot over lame ass punk rock song.
So for what its worth, I'd like to all the film makers, athletes, and production teams for their hard work. You guys are one of the big reasons IF3 is so successful.
