    "Soul Purpose" - The New Movie from Teton Gravity Research
    Friday November 19th - Doors Open 9:00PM Movie 10:00PM
     
    "Soul Purpose" takes an introspective look at the driving forces behind an athlete's devotion to skiing and its lifestyle. Shot on vibrant 16mm film with an aesthetic and soulful integration of photographs, TGR's 2004 release is one of the most progressive, original and creative ski films to date. Soul Purpose features Sage Cattabriga- Alosa, continuing his laid back and stylish assault of big mountain lines, while the rest of the Utah posse continues to drop jaws. Micah and Nobis find undiscovered couloirs in Italy; the jib crew expands the industry's concept of big mountain lines; and Burks, Law and J. Jones descend on Mica Creek BC. Travel the globe to: Romania, Bulgaria, Italy, Mother Russia, British Columbia, Wyoming, Oregon, Utah, California and AK. Athletes include: The Collins boys, Sage, Pierre, Skogen, Marc-Andre, Victoria, J Jones, Woods, Crichton, Rinfret, Law, and many more. Experience the athlete's highs and lows, get a glimpse of their lives, find the soul of skiing, and discover Soul Purpose.

    Featuring:  John Brown's Body           With Special Guest:  Dujeous
