As autumn approaches, skiers and snowboarders are getting stoked for winter. So it’s only appropriate that the new film from Teton Gravity Research is titled Stoke the Fire. And if you’re like me, the stoke really begins after watching a ski movie premiere. Well, Stoke the Fire will screen at Red Butte Amphitheatre in Salt Lake City on September 20th.
Stoke the Fire
Stoke the Fire is Teton Gravity Research’s 26th annual film. According to the filmmakers, it “explores ski athletes’ evolution within skiing and the pure joy that manifests from that process. The stoke means different things to different people based on where they are in their evolution. For some it is about committing to a new world, a lifestyle, and the friendships that blossom from that commitment. The choice to enter this world is a spark, and with every new experience the fire grows.
With more knowledge comes more exploration, both physically and geographically, that helps to understand what those raw experiences connected with nature do for the soul. With more experience an examination of our shared history becomes important, and ultimately some of us might want to test our limits at the upper echelon of what is possible by drawing upon the sum of our knowledge and experiences. While the answers we find are different for everyone the pursuit of this evolution is something sacred, the pursuit is what stokes the fire.”
Screening at Red Butte Amphitheatre
Stoke the Fire will screen in Salt Lake City, Utah on Monday, September 20th at the Red Butte Amphitheatre for the winter kick-off party of the year. This is a one-night only premiere.
