Well, folks, the screening at the Egyptian Theater on Main Street, Park City, was a great evening of sharing the story with old friends, supporters, and members of the Tribe. Tanner Hall was in the crowd, and came up to the stage to say some kind words during the Q&A after the film. We really appreciate everyone who came out, and we are excited to announce that if you missed it, you still have a chance to see it in Park City! Read the official release below:
Due to the enormous success of its Sept. 24th Park City showing at the Egyptian Theater on Main Street Park City, The Edge of Never has been booked for its theatrical debut at Park City’s Redstone Theater. Screenings are slated to begin on Sept. 25th and run through at least October 1, 2009.
“We are thrilled and deeply grateful for the opportunity that Metropolitan Theaters has presented us by booking us into its Redstone Theater in Park City,” said Edge of Never producer Peter Schweitzer. “The early response to the film on our tour has been incredibly positive and this is the next step. Starting a theatrical run is a great leap forward in our efforts to bring the film to a wide audience.”
The film has been a web sensation, with more than 13,000 YouTube hits for its trailer in a month .
A documentary feature film set in the world of big mountain skiing, The Edge of Never is a real-life coming of age saga about the tribe of skiers who challenge the biggest, most dangerous mountains in the world. In 1996 extreme-skiing legend Trevor Petersen was killed in Chamonix, France. Nine years later, skiing icon Glen Plake decides it’s time for Trevor’s 15-year-old son, Kye, to ski the route that killed his father and join the tribe of big-mountain skiers. In this thrilling film, three generations of skiers mentor Kye as he attempts to finish his father’s final run. A ripping adventure tale of a young man coming of age, The Edge of Never is also a rich and subtle portrait of men and women who live big in the face of their greatest fears. Written and directed by William A. Kerig, produced by Peter Schweitzer, based on the book of the same title written by Kerig, The Edge of Never was shot on location in Chamonix, France.
CBS4 Denver Critic Greg Moody said, “This is a powerful story and just a great film. The story is told in a gripping and spellbinding way. It’s a film that calls to skiers for its dramatic moments on one of the world’s most dangerous slopes, but also to families for what it says about the strong and lasting tie between a son and a father he barely knew.”
What Riding Giants was for surfing, what A River Runs Through It was for fly-fishing, The Edge of Never is skiing’s film.
The movie is beautifully shot on film and HD by Peter Pilafian, the Director of Photography who did Riding Giants and Dogtown and Z-Boys.
The Edge of Never features the music of San Francisco reggae artist Michael Franti and Spearhead (his single “Say Hey (I Love You)” is a Top 40 hit).
In the same way that Rocky is not just a film about boxing, and Rudy not just about college football, The Edge of Never has universal appeal. It’s a story of family; of life and death; of searching for what counts in life; of confronting your fears and fulfilling your dreams.
This is the official trailer for The Edge of Never Film.
