Boulder, Colo. (Sept. 25, 2012) — Warren Miller Entertainment, producer of award-winning action films for 63 years, is announcing an unprecedented partnership with The Climate Reality Project, founded and chaired by former Vice President Al Gore. Flow State, the latest installment of Warren Miller Entertainment, chronicles the travels of the world’s premiere adventure skiers to areas impacted by climate change. As part of “I Am Pro Snow,” a soon-to-launch Climate Reality Project campaign highlighting the impacts of climate change on winter sports, Former Vice President Gore will attend a showing of the film in November 2012.
This groundbreaking agreement will combine the reach of two major organizations, using compelling footage to promote awareness of the global climate crisis.
“Beyond the global scientific consensus about the climate crisis, we can now look in our own backyards to see the impact of man-made climate change,” said Gore, chairman of The Climate Reality Project. “Anyone who spends time on a ski slope or in the backcountry can see how this crisis is changing weather patterns and ecology, with major impacts on the outdoor activities we enjoy with our friends and families. Climate change is a reality that is here, today.”
Warren Miller’s Flow State guides movie-goers to the top of the world’s most spectacular peaks, taking fans on an exhilarating journey across the globe.
Through this partnership, Warren Miller Entertainment will bring attention to the climate reality that the film crew witnessed firsthand in Svaldbard, Norway, such as the lack of sea ice in the region.
“Warren Miller Entertainment has an incredibly passionate audience that celebrates winter to come every fall… Going to the Film Tour is a family tradition that has been passed down to generations to embellish their lifestyle. A lifestyle that all of us are deeply connected to and thus our mission is to help The Climate Reality Project raise awareness via our film and foster a community of movie-goers and ski industry partners whose passion and livelihood depend on a sustainable future,” said Johnny Alamo, Executive Director, Partnerships & Strategic Alliances at Warren Miller Entertainment.
Warren Miller’s Flow State is a film about a place of singular focus and connection with the environment that, in this place, the faster you ride, the slower time passes. The Flow State exists anywhere crisp winter air shocks your lungs and sunlight refracts off snowflakes, allowing you to emerge from this state improved – and more aware of your surroundings.
