Warren Miller’s Dynasty - Thursday Nov 12 09

** THIS THURSDAY **
Get a real taste of winter on November 12
Algonquin Outfitters presents Warren Miller’s Dynasty at the Algonquin Theatre



Sixty years ago, an adventurous man with a pair of wooden boards strapped to his feet and an 8mm-movie camera in his hand changed the way we think about snow. Today, Warren Miller is the most recognized name in the ski industry and Warren Miller Entertainment® (WME) hosts the largest action sports film tour on the planet.

On Thursday, November 12, join Algonquin Outfitters for the celebration of 60 years of filmmaking with the release of Warren Miller’s Dynasty. Fresh cinematography and immeasurable talent explodes from Dynasty, showcasing the experience, the influence and the originality that has grown from the action sports filmmaking institution that is Warren Miller Entertainment.

From October through December 2009, Warren Miller’s Dynasty will crisscross North America, with one stop in Huntsville on November 12. Narrated by Jonny Moseley and presented in striking high-definition, Dynasty highlights winter’s most gripping explorations and ultimate challenges…the new, the old, and the unknown…the steep, the deep, and the unthinkable. All of the action in this anniversary edition is set to an unmatched, innovative soundtrack, including music from Incubus, Silversun Pickups and Band of Horses.

When asked about Dynasty, the film’s director and producer Max Bervy said, “Warren Miller's Dynasty reveals the past, present, and future of winter sports. It is a film that gathers the generations under one roof, from the Crist family patriarch to Daron Rahlves, and the explosion of young terrain-park talent they've inspired. It's like a family reunion, held in neck-deep pow, with mandatory air required for entry. It leaves no snowball unturned in celebrating everyone who has, is, and will forever be a part of Warren Miller's Dynasty.”
