MSP Films’ World Premiere of “IN DEEP” Sells Out at the Boulder Theater

BOULDER, Colorado, (September 19th) – The world premiere of MSP Films’ latest ski movie, “In Deep, the skiing experience” returned to the Boulder Theater for the first time in eight years this evening. With two sold out shows and a Saucerboy costume contest, MSP kicked off the 2009 winter season with a bang.

Star athletes from “In Deep” were on site to sign posters and meet and greet fans, friends, and partners. Athletes included Mark Abma, James Heim, Daron Rahlves, Rory Bushfield, Hugo Harrisson, Bobby Brown, and Colby West.

MSP took a new approach this year choosing to document the experience surrounding the sport of skiing. Each segment was built around different aspects of the sport. Highlights from the film included the “Lines” segment, which helps illustrate each individual’s unique vision of skiing big mountain lines. A standout newcomer to the MSP team, Henrik Windstedt, has a breakthrough segment that transitions into some of the fastest skiing you will see in the Alaskan backcountry, courtesy of Daron Rahlves, Chris Davenport, and Henrik himself.

Probably the most anticipated and powerful segment that comes out of “In Deep” is the tribute segment to Shane McConkey. When his name came to screen the venue was filled with constant cheers and people to their feet. Tears were shed, laughter was shared, and Shane was finally put to rest for many fans. “Man, what a great night!” exclaimed Steve Winter, co-oounder of MSP. “Both the 7:00 and 9:30 shows went off. There were so many great moments, for me the introduction to the 9:30 premiere was one of the greatest ski movie moments ever. The skier intros were insane and when Shane McConkey was announced the roar of the crowd was deafening and for me the defining moment of the night.”

“In Deep” will be touring the United States and the rest of the world for the next three months and is available on DVD and Blu-ray disc. For more information visit www.skimovie.com.
