The Movie Itself is a documentary about snowboarding directed, edited, filmed for the most part and produced by Curt Morgan. This isn't Morgan's first film about snowboarding, in fact he made another one titled "That's It, That's All" back in 2008 — with the very same set of filmmakers that worked on this. Morgan's production company Brain Farm Digital Cinema handled this effort as well with the sponsorship of both Red Bull (via their production company Red Bull Media House) and also Quiksilver. The film was given reportedly around a two million dollar budget and took two years to make.
Things start out being narrated by and following two-time X-Games gold medal winning snowboarding sensation Travis Rice as he discusses and prepares for an epic snowboarding adventure with some fellow pro boarders. The other professional snowboarders featured in the documentary here include: Mark Landvik, John Jackson, Scotty Lago, Jeremy Jones, Eero Niemela, Nicolas Müller, Jake Blauveltand, "DCP" and Pat Moore. The guys embark on a journey across the globe here visiting the likes of Alaska, Austria, Canada, Patagonia, Romania and even Wyoming. These mountainous winter wonderlands make for some of the most incredible snowboarding jumps, tricks and whatnot ever recorded on film. Eye candy comes in the form of these beautiful locations but your jaw will surely drop as you witness the amazing feats done by these extremely, extremely brave and talented professionals.
Wow, in closing here in regards to this snowboarding documentary let me first say I'm before seeing this film, I was in no way a huge fan of snowboarding aside from maybe playing a video game that simulated it. That's not to say I dislike it, just to be honest and to also say I've never snowboarded in my life — yet however after seeing this film I'd like to maybe attempt to try some more safe realistic type snowboarding. The director here Curt Morgan is a really talented artistic mind and I got to see that not only in his film but by also listening to him in a very relaxed fashion as he discussed his film during a Q&A last week. He's a truly visionary guy and is definitely one to keep your eye on. This is being called the greatest snowboarding movie ever made. I can totally vouch for that. This also is a snowboarding movie that is going to reach audiences that aren't just snowboarders. Hell, it got me! Just sit back and let go, as some professionals do their version of letting go and behold the art of flight.
