IF3 recap- OOTS wins ‘BEST BIG MOUNTAIN MOVIE’

Wow, IF3 was an experience for sure. Athan and I traveled to Montreal for IF3 and expected to get our show to a larger and a more jib/jump/park oriented crowd, but not much beyond that.

Montreal. New city for Dendrite.

IF3 was a blur. Late nights of parties, long days of watching numerous awesome ski flicks!

During the final evening of the festival, the Newschoolers Awards were given out. We were extremely stoked to be awarded ‘Best Big Mountain Movie’ in the Open category. The nominees were: our movie, MSP’s The Way I See it, and PBP’s Revolver. To beat out MSP and PoorBoyz who both have some rather large budgets and our film shot and produced out of our pockets, feels pretty damn good.

Pleasantly surprised and uber stoked!

We are super thankful to even be nominated in the same realm as these two juggernauts. MSP’s film was amazing, with plenty of humor and as they always do, amazing cinematography.
Poorboyz’ Revolver was incredible as well. These companies have been inspirations for us. So to be considered amongst peers is an amazing feeling.

The venue for the madness.

We also want to give a shout out to our favorite film of the fest “Azadi” by B4Apres. We spent a lot of time hanging with Anthony Bonello and his documentary was a beautiful portrayal of the people and hardships of Kashmir and how skiing, as it brings joy to us skiers, can bring a new light to the locals.

We are ready for more and the next couple of projects are brewing. Look for “Out of the Shadows” to be available soon right here on dendritestudios.com. We appreciate the patience in getting our film out to the masses. It is almost here!

see ya

Travel to IF3- a 2 is not a 5

Athan and I are sitting in Vancouver airport currently, it is 7am, and we are heading to Montreal for the International Freeski Film Festival (IF3). Out of the Shadows will be premiering at IF3, and competing in the pro category, which we are stoked about.

Now, here is a lesson to everyone, well maybe just some, or maybe just us. I arrived at Athan’s house in Vancouver last night at 11pm. We had set our wake up alarms for 5:15am. I woke up and my watch said 5:20am. After getting dressed, I woke Athan up, and he too looked at his clock and saw 5:20. After some breakfast we walked 10 blocks to the skytrain station. Hmm, weird. The skytrain had big sliding doors over the entrance…it was closed. This prompted a relook at the old wrist clock, and to my shock it was 3:00am. We had both actually woken up around 2:30am and read the 2′s as 5′s and had both fully thought it was 5:30 when we woke. So we headed back to Athan’s house, slept 2 more hours, then back to the skytrain at the proper time.

Lesson of the story a 2 is not a 5.

Head over to Zapiks.com and Zapiks.fr to see our trailer and to vote for us for the IF3 Best Teaser Award….voting on both sites counts.

off to YUL.

Heading Catskiing With SWS

The crew at Dendrite, Athan and I, are heading to Selkirk Wilderness Skiing on Sunday. We have to leave Vancouver at the ‘way to early to be doing anything’ hour of 04:00. With a long drive to Meadow Creek ahead of us, we want to get an early start. Athan, myself, and Brett Crabtree will be heading up in my trusty Fit, while Eliel, Max, and Chris will be heading up in El’s truck. The skiers coming along with us to film for the week have changed a lot over the last 2 weeks. We really wanted to get Matt Elliott out there but his knee injury is still holding him back from hucking the flips and 3′s he is so known for. Heal up buddy. As well, Dave Treadway was invited back to the Red Bull Cold Rush, and with a world class invite like that, he had to bail. Good luck Dave, we hope you crush it!

Luckily, living in a mecca like Whistler means that there are always keen rippers more than stoked on a free cat skiing trip and film exposure. Brett Crabtree and Max Arsenault are two guys who have put in a lot of time in front of the lens the season and they earned our last 2 spots. The final roster includes Maxim Arsenault, Brett Crabtree, Eliel Hindert and Chris Turpin. These 4 guys are going to kill it at Selkirk and hopefully the high pressure will let Max and Brett get into some big terrain while Eliel and Turpin show the mountains more style than ever before.

We are stoked on Selkirk Wildnerss Skiing‘s support of our project! These guys were the first ever catskiing operation in the world!! I’m sure they’ll show us the goods.

Perspectives #5 is up and ready for viewing

Perspectives #5 is about introducing a couple of our athletes. Matt Elliott and Brett Crabtree star in this web clip outlining some of the terrain inbounds on Whistler as well as some nearby sled zones as skied by Crabtree. Matt Elliott is an all around ripper and kills pretty much every line on Whistler and Blackcomb. Brett Crabtree is the 2008 IFSA Freeskiing World Tour champion and skis with so much strength and makes everything look easy with his smooth style. A lot more will come in the final film of these two guys.

Enjoy!
