More media coverage for Still Motion

The momentum for Still Motion is still going. Global TV Lethbridge picked up on the story when the Banff Film Festival World Tour came to the city last week. Reporter Tom Roulston did a nice piece on the world tour stop and my film Still Motion. Watch the news clip by clicking on the image. The clip is 6 minutes into the video link.

Banff Film Festival Recap

The Banff Mountain Film Festival was a blast. It was a true privilege to be part of such an outstanding weekend of speakers, films and conversations with many amazing film makers from around the world. Still Motion was screened on Saturday evening on the main stage at the Eric Harvie Theatre following a heart-wrenching film on a mountain climbing disaster on K2 called ‘Point of No Return’. During my very brief introduction of Still Motion I mentioned that it would be completely different than what was just seen. I think that’s what people have enjoyed about Still Motion. It’s simple, it has some elements of humour, there’s beautiful music (thanks Keith, Hans & Steve) and it’s completely different than what you normally expect in a film. The winning short film ‘The Longest Journey’ had some similar elements, in that it was also a stop motion film with a creative edge.

Next up for Still Motion is the Banff Film Festival World Tour. I’ll have a chance to introduction the film here in Lethbridge and it will hopefully be enjoyed in many other cities and countries. That’s the other amazing part of this film – except for the titles, it requires no translation. Simple is sometimes beautiful and I’m glad the Banff Festival took a chance on this innovative production.

Banff Film Festival Finalist

The 2010 Banff Film Festival Finalists have been announced and Still Motion made the cut! Still Motion will be screening at the Banff Film Festival on Saturday November 6, 2010. Following the festival Still Motion will be going on tour with the Banff Film Festival. It is a great privilege to be selected by the Banff Mountain Film Festival and be associated with its prestigious festival and amazing commentary on mountain life. Hopefully Still Motion will reach viewers hearts and they will consider how we can better live with the wildlife around and among us.
