Boulder, Colo. – April 5, 2016 – The German-based media company, Moving Adventures has selected Warren Miller Entertainment (WME) as the North American distributor for the KEEN International Ocean Film Tour (IOFT), a collection of seven short films about the sea.
Massive, powerful waves off the Tasmanian coast, the inherent natural beauty of Mexico, and a world record set by crossing the most dangerous ocean passage. The International Ocean Film Tour sets sail for its third voyage to bring the best and most stunning ocean and watersport adventures to the big screen, this time making its way to North American soil. The U.S. tour will debut on Friday, April 22, in Portland, Oregon at Revolution Hall and hit over 20 cities before wrapping up in Boulder, Colorado four weeks later.
“After our long lasting partnership in Europe for the Warren Miller films, we're very happy to collaborate again with the team from Warren Miller Entertainment and bring the International Ocean Film Tour to ocean lovers all over North America,” says Moving Adventures co-founder Thomas Whitt.
The North American film tour is sponsored by KEEN Footwear and will also incorporate partnerships with SAIL Magazine and Anglers Journal. Ocean lovers and watersports enthusiasts are encouraged to not miss this event which includes 120 minutes packed with the most inspiring stories from the sea and the best water sports action of the year.
A full tour schedule and ticketing information is available at the official KEEN International Ocean Film Tour website, here.
“Water and adventure are two elements that when fused, create a relationship that’s nothing less than magical. They’re elements that have been highly influential for KEEN from the moment the brand was founded in 2003,” said Nol Gerritse, KEEN Marketing Director. “We’re excited and honored to bring the energy of some of the most inspiring, engaging adventures to people around the US in partnership with Warren Miller Entertainment and Moving Adventures.”
The alignment with Moving Adventures for the IOFT is a return to water for the historic film brand, Warren Miller Entertainment. For a long time, Miller included water segments in his annual feature film and many of the films produced by the company during the 1960’s through the late 1990’s included activities like sailing, windsurfing, jet skiing, kayaking and more.
