Chevy Avalanche Celebrates the Innovative Filmmaking of
TETON GRAVITY RESEARCH
Teton Gravity Research: Watching a TGR film is a full body experience. Known for their adrenaline-spiked ski movies as well as their ribald humour, Teton Gravity films are always a hugeFrom the film Nurpu hit on the Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour. What started as a couple of guys with a camera, filming their ski and snowboarding adventures, has developed into a world-class adventure sports production company based in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. TGR ventures into new waters with "Nurpu", their first kayaking film, with a second, "Valhalla", just completed. Director Arden Oksanen speaks for TGR's talented team.

P.O.V: "Our focus isn't so much on any one discipline as it is a state of mind, a feeling, and a movement".
 
Trade Secret: "The main element in creating great films is the vision: You need to see the film beforehand and as it unfolds right in front of the camera, be able to put it all together and relate it to an audience."

Fantasy Film: "An epic tale of an around-the-world adventure, based on what you see from a pair of skis and a kayak, all shot on IMAX."
