Life Cycles Movie
Sponsored by UREC, UPB and Shenandoah Bicycle Company
Come out to watch an adventure movie to benefit the Shenandoah Bicycle Coalition. Life Cycles by Stance Films is one of the most visually stimulating Mountain bike movies to date. From the first images leaking out of Life Cycles editing bays, it’s easy to see this will be a Cycling dvd like no other: Cam McCaul back-flipping above a wheat field in Saskatchewan, Canada; shots of dust hanging in the air as Mike Hopkins charges down a steep slope of loose dirt. Life Cycles dvd is meant to be about the riders, and the deep connections they have with the bike. But it is also about the art of filmmaking and capturing unique, attention-grabbing action sequences. To achieve this, the film is being shot with the new high-definition Red digital cameras created by Oakley founder Jim Jannard.
Date: February 7, 2012
Time: 7:00pm
Location: Grafton Stovall Theatre
Suggested Donations: $5 (Public), $3 (Students)
