This Wednesday, December 8th is the start of the first annual Sports Film Festival “The Summit” and is taking place in Breckenridge. “The Summit” will showcase talented filmmakers from around the world as well as top athletes, live music, photography exhibits and screenings of some of this years best ski and snowboard films. The film festival will be a four-day event, December 8th -11th, and kicks off at noon on Wednesday at Brooklyn’s Tavern with a meet and greet with athletes and filmmakers.
The Summit Action Sports Film Festival supports both amateur and professional filmmakers. Around 10 films will be shown each day with a price of $5 per screening (or $5 for the day if you stay inside the venue). The award ceremony will be held at 7pm at the Riverwalk Amphitheater in downtown Breckenridge on Saturday, December 11th.
Jon Roderick, the mastermind behind the event says “There’s an insane amount of support already.” His dream became a reality with the help of Snow Boarder magazine, Nike 6.0, Vitamin Water and Breckenridge Ski Resort.
