After three decades of capturing the most breathtaking moments in adventure sports and pushing the boundaries of action filmmaking, Teton Gravity Research is ready to hand you the keys to the kingdom. Today, we’re thrilled to announce the launch of the TGR Dream Factory Digital Film Festival – our bold new platform designed to spotlight the next generation of filmmaking talent.

For thirty years, TGR has been synonymous with award-winning films that define what’s possible in adventure storytelling. From death-defying ski descents to heart-stopping mountain bike sequences, we’ve built our reputation on showcasing raw vision and uncompromising artistry. Now, we’re opening our doors – and our global distribution channels – to celebrate the incredible cinematographers, directors, and creators who are ready to make their mark.

This isn’t just another film festival. This is the main stage we built specifically for filmmakers like you, where authentic vision gets the recognition it deserves..

Our award categories celebrate every aspect of adventure filmmaking excellence:

A Festival Experience Like No Other

Starting in December, we’ll release films in curated monthly waves through February, building anticipation and giving each submission the attention it deserves. Our internally selected winners will be announced in early December at a special open-air event on the Santa Monica pier, with the possibility of screening inclusion – imagine seeing your work alongside TGR’s annual film on the big screen.

But here’s where it gets interesting: every submission enters creators into an exclusive giveaway, and every fan vote becomes an entry in our audience sweepstakes.

We’re not just celebrating great filmmaking; we’re building a community around it.

When you submit to Dream Factory, you’re not just entering a competition – you’re plugging into TGR’s unmatched distribution network and three decades of industry credibility. Winners will see their work amplified across our global channels, reaching adventure enthusiasts, industry professionals, and film lovers worldwide.

From June through December, we’ll be promoting the festival weekly across all TGR channels, backed by a comprehensive PR push that ensures maximum visibility for all participants.

The submission platform launches this fall with an intuitive user experience designed to make the process as smooth as your best tracking shot. Whether you’re a seasoned filmmaker ready to make your mark or an amateur with raw talent and a killer story, Dream Factory is your opportunity to join the TGR family.

For thirty years, we’ve been the platform where legends are made and boundaries are shattered. Now it’s your turn to show the world what you’ve got.

Your craft. Your vision. Our platform.

Submissions open this fall. Get ready – the stage is yours.
