Film Time: When Helis Just Don’t Cut It Anymore

Got a press release here for a pretty crazy film starring Jeremy Jones named “Deeper”, a new film featuring Jones, Jonaven Moore, Travis Rice and Xavier De La Rue, “who set out to conquer the best lines without the limited assistance of snowmobiles, helicopters or lifts,” according to the release.

You can view the trailer here. The movie is being produced by Teton Gravity Research.

In the trailer, it’s evident that the movie focuses not only on big-line footage but on the struggles to get those lines as well. It looks like the crew had to do some pretty serious hiking and scaling of mountains to get where they wanted to go. And if the trailer is any indication, the struggle to get there was worth it. From the release: “During one shoot, Jones, Travis, and the rest of the production crew spent 27 days camped on a glacier in Alaska. On another shoot in the Swiss Alps, Jones and De La Rue started hiking at 10 at night in order to ride a line at sunrise the next morning.” Damn.

According to a thread on TGR’s website, the movie will drop in late fall.
