REV: A Buried Treasure

When: 
Jan 26 2010 - Jan 30 2010
Where: 
Squamish, Pemberton, Whistler, Kelowna, Silverstar

Vance Shaw, former Teton Gravity Research (TGR) principal cinematographer, has filmed, directed and produced this unique documentary style film about "a town that skis".    A heartfelt and raw story about people who ski, live and visit the place of their dreams, now in transition from a historic quiet mountain town to a world-class ski area.  Locals, visitors, and athletes tell of a snow seekers' gem made by passionate visionaries, lifestyle addicts, and vast terrain.   High emotion, high content, high impact. 
"REV is the successful blend of mind-blowing ski porn, engaging storytelling, and timely journalism ... A film about a ski town caught in transition from a small mountain town that relied on industry to a town quickly on its way to becoming one of North America's top ski destinations.  REV is history in the making." -- Keith Carlsen, Senior Correspondent, Powder Magazine
    
"Shaw doesn't shy from the myriad of emotions surrounding the transformation of Revelstoke - from a sleepy industrial mountain town, to a world-class ski and snowboard destination. The documentary uses skiing as a vehicle to identify what people love about the town, mountains and snow of Revelstoke they chose to make a permanent part of their lives. This film's greatest value is its rare documentation of the human story and potential boomtown in its infancy."  -- Jason Tross, freeskier.com
     
Shaw is an accomplished skier who has spent his adult life either in front of or behind the lens in search of the best skiing in the world.  After filming from Alaska to the Alps while working on seven TGR films, Shaw left the traveling life to raise a family fed on mountains, fresh air and opportunity in Revelstoke, BC.  He is available days and nights at: 250.814.9151.
