Voleurz had the "east coast premiere" of their More For The Astronauts film in Montreal Wednesday night. It's a long stretch of road from Hartford, CT, to Montreal, QC. But to see our first Canadian sponsored filmmaker for the first time it was well worth the drive.
A quick stop in my hometown of Glens Falls in upstate NY helped break things up. Having heard the horror stories about crossing the border these days, I opted to leave my box of swag and brand new 23" external display with Dad. Managed to sneak our banner across, though.
Navigating a foreign city, in a foreign language, in the dark, and in the rain made things challenging after six hours on the road. But MapQuest delivered me to the correct street, and the funky blue Christmas lights of "Foufounes Electronique" practically screamed "this is the place you're looking for."
If you haven't heard of Voleurz, its because they're new! nossaTV sponsored their first feature length video, More For The Astronauts. These guys are killing it right now, and its only a matter of time before they catch on south of the border. Led by Darren as principle filmmaker, Bruce as the website/internet guy (check their Facebook profile), and Harvey running the burgeoning clothing line, these guys have all the right stuff.
The movie was BY FAR the most entertaining video I've seen this season (and that includes everything that was at The Meeting in Aspen). Do they have heli-shots from AK, or even the terrain park? No. But not to sound cliche, they have THE MOST progressive riding I've seen this year. Both skiing and snowboarding. Add to that a nice skateboarding segment. And lifestyle segments so entertaining you'd think you were watching reality TV. All I could think while watching Astronauts was "fresh." Voleurz is the future of skiing and snowboarding.
Check out the trailer and other segments on nossaTV and on the Voleurz site.
And if you happen to be in Whistler on the 25th, you can catch them at Longhorn.
