My Own Two Feet – Snowboard Movie Premiere

Protect Our Winters and Leeward Cinema present: “My Own Two Feet”, a hi-definition, human powered adventure snowboarding film which “throws a wrench” in the “popular mechanics” of conventional snowboard film-making. Removing high-carbon mechanical means of alpine ascent (i.e. snowmobiles, helicopters, and chair-lifts), Leeward Cinema and cast committed their legs to a grueling winter of self-propelled locomotion. Staying true to the green ethic with their sustainable filming techniques, Leeward Cinema filmed locally and solely in the Sierra Nevada range of California. “Walking is the cheapest, easiest, and oldest mode of transportation. By hoofing it and by carpooling when we had to drive, we significantly reduced the amount of fuel used during production. Once at the foot of the mountains we took off on our own power and camped in the wild during the duration of our shoots.” says company founder Chris Edmands.

My Own Two Feet showcases the talents of: Jeremy Jones, Dave Downing, Josh Dirksen, Marrku Koski, Stacy Thomas, Erik Leines, Chad Oterstrom, Tom Burt, Ben Lynch, Forrest Shearer, Danny Garrity, Jimi Tomer, Shayne Pospasil, Nate Farrell and many more.

The New Zealand premiere will be at Sandwiches Bar & Restaurant in Wellington on 7th of October, Doors open 8pm, screening at 9pm. Tickets will be $8, available at www.sandwiches.co.nz + door sales. Spot prizes provided with the generous support of Huffer Clothing, Chop Headwear, Manual Magazine and Neale Printing Wellington. All proceeds from the film will be donated to the Sustainable Wanaka Charitable Trust.
