The climbing portion was pretty bland as the producers chose to pick three European sport climbing girls and toss them into the dessert crack climbing scene. These girls could crush on any crag or gym in teh world with face moves but putting them in the dessert on a crack climb that I could climb on lead was just a little boring. There was even one point in the movie when the climber asked for the belayer to "take" and she sat there almost giving an interview on how hard the climb was before resuming the climb. My mom was even a little bit confused by this because when she is climbing with me and asks for me to "take" I almost always force her to continue the climb to the belay station.
The best movies in the whole show were the snowboarding movie by Travis Rice showcasing him and friends ripping spines in Alaska (No shit) and a mountain bike movie that was super artsy and just all around fun to watch that looked like it was shot in Whistler or the Pacific Northwest Somewhere.
The most confusing movie in the whole show was by far was a movie about a trash bag that was narrated like wildlife documentary on National Geographic or something, yaaaaa...
Here's the trailer for the Film Festival
The saddest movie in the show was a kayaking documentary of kayaking the Congo in which one kayaker got taken out by an alligator.
The most boring movie was "Baffin Babes" in which some girls from Sweden and Norway cross country ski across Baffin Island. As you could imagine they could have just gone back and forth across a 1 mile strip of Baffin Island and we (the viewers) wouldn't have had a clue. Now that I think of it, I doubt they would have had a clue either, the scenery literally never changed throughout the movie. This trip would be shitty to do and for me it was great to only waste 20 minutes of my time watching this ordeal instead 2 months!
Next up is a review of MSPs new film "Attack of LaNina", so stoked!!
A trailer of the Outdoor Film Festival...
