Teton Gravity Research + Anthill Films Release One Shot Segment to Promote Release of unReal
Popular Stories
JACKSON HOLE, Wyo. (July 22, 2015) — Media house Teton Gravity Research (TGR) and production company Anthill Films announce the availability of unReal on iTunes and release Brandon Semenuk’s One Shot segment, one of the film’s most acclaimed, for free to promote the film’s release. unReal is the first feature mountain bike film inspired by the unprecedented creative union of the two companies and the unlimited imaginations of some of the world’s best mountain bikers. Produced for unReal, the One Shot segment, titled “Get Lost in the Moment,” is the first mountain bike film segment to be filmed in one continuous shot.
Brandon Semenuk is widely recognized as the best slopestyle mountain biker in the world. This uninterrupted shot was filmed by the most advanced gyro-stabilized camera system, the GSS C520, mounted to a truck on a custom road built next to a custom trail that took three weeks to build. This true cinematic achievement required perfect coordination between Semenuk, Anthill Films, and TGR with regard to athleticism, planning, timing and logistics. Injured at the time, Semenuk only hit the full line once.
unReal is for those of us who escape. A film that celebrates breaking free from the confines of reality and venturing into a boundless world. This place isn’t remote or hard to find, and yet many never see it. Here, glacial walls transform into mountain bike trails, rain and snow aren’t the only elements to fall from the sky and thousand pound mammals become riding partners. Breathtaking visuals conjure feelings of awe and pure joy; feelings that only those of us who venture outside can truly understand. This film is dedicated to you — the dreamers, the rule-breakers, the ones who never grow up, the ones who know the secret — the ones who know the way into the unReal world.
Riders: Brandon Semenuk, Brett Rheeder, Cam McCaul, Graham Agassiz, Steve Smith, Tom van Steenbergen and Thomas Vanderham, with Brook Macdonald Finn Iles, Ian Morrison, James Doerfling, Matty Miles and friends
unReal is currently on a worldwide film tour. The film is also available for digital download on Amazon, Google Play, Xbox, PlayStation, MGo (4k), Vimeo on Demand, and on demand via Comcast Cable VOD, DirecTV On Demand, and Dish On Demand. Releases on Blu-ray and DVD will follow.
unReal is co-produced by media house Teton Gravity Research and Anthill Films. Written, directed and edited by Anthill Films. Art direction and additional writing by Good Fortune Collective. Presented by Sony in association with Shimano and Trek. Additional support for the film is provided by Bike Magazine, Evoc, Knolly, Pinkbike.com, Rocky Mountain, Western Digital, and Whistler Mountain Bike Park.
