The Fernie Ski and Board Fest is pleased to be featuring the Sherpas newest film “Into The Mind” on November 9th at the Fernie Community Centre. The Sherpas previous film “All I Can” won the “Peoples Choice” and “Best Ski Film” awards at the 2011 Fernie Fest and their latest film will also be a must see.

Into The Mind is a story of rising to the ultimate challenge. Having the courage to risk fatal exposure and the perseverance demanded on the quest for achievement. These are not solely physical feats, they are mental conquests.

From the creators of the award winning film “All.I.Can”, Sherpas Cinema is proud to present their newest feature film, Into The Mind. With stunning cinematography and groundbreaking storytelling techniques, the Sherpas blur the lines between dream state and reality, and immerse you into the mind of a common skier as he attempts to climb and ski the ultimate mountain. Innovative athlete segments are actually a glimpse into his dreamscape, each one harboring messages that help inform our hero’s current, real-life choices. As you experience the majesty of Alaska, Bolivia, the Himalaya and beyond, Into the Mind paints a philosophical portrait of human kind. How do we balance risk versus reward? Why are we inspired to rise to the challenges in our lives and what do we learn on this journey to attain them?

The Sherpas were honoured to be chosen once again to return to Montreal and screen at IF3 2013 last week. The film this time round was a sneak peak of Into The Mind, two weeks prior to its official worldwide release on September 28th. And as it seems, the film did not disappoint. Into The Mind was awarded “Film of the Year” and “Best Editing” by the IF3 judging crew.
