Salt Lake City-based cinematographer and snowboarder Jeremy Miller, and producer and photographer Stan Evans, have announced the production of the only all-women’s snowboard film of 2009, titled Stance. Miller and Evans, collectively JMills Ent., discuss the film - which is slated to feature Gretchen Bleiler, Jamie Anderson, Lisa Filzmoser, Hana Beaman, Kimmy Fasani - in a recent interview with ESPN Action Sports. Here’s a portion of the interview:
“Why do you think the time is right for a new style of women’s shred movie and how will yours be different from what’s come before?
Stan: I think any time is the right time for a different style shred movie, men’s or women’s—as long as it is engaging, fun and visually appealing. We are really trying to show the women with their individual voices. What they like to ride and where they want to be. Having them push it for themselves and do it 110 percent. Once we help establish that mindset and what’s possible, we just need to document well. Jeremy has a degree in cinematography and I have one in photography so we’re not trying to “‘bro-cam’ and slap some shit together. We talk to our riders and have clear concepts that we shoot creatively with an end result in mind.
Jeremy: I’m not so sure it has anything to do with the timing, I just feel we can put our own unique spin and cinematic style on the film to create a look and feel that has not otherwise been accomplished in snowboarding. The film will differ in the overall appearance and caliber of riding (hopefully). The variables that I have control over will be unique imagery, moving cameras, coloring, editing, and direction. We are just at the tip of the iceberg for what is capable in snowboard cinema. The closest I’ve seen to “on-par” was That’s It, That’s All. Aside from skilled production teams, budget would be the major factor in creating a truly Hollywood-worthy film.”
