“Most sports films are just about the sports. This one is about more than that” — Daniel Frutos, screenwriter
A feature film project
GENRE: Sports/Drama
LOGLINE: After crashing out during a halfpipe contest, a brash pro snowboarder struggles to regain his “King of The Mountain” status.
Cold Stoke is a low budget sports drama that can be best described as a “BLUE CRUSH with snowboarders.” The movie tells the story of ERIC, a brash pro snowboarder who has it all — fame, money, friends. His world is rocked when when during the final run of a major snowboarding halfpipe competition, he pushes it a little too far and suffers an injury-causing wipeout that threatens to end his career. Being the hard headed person that he is, he risks everything, including his friends to get back in the pipe. As he struggles to get back on top of the snowboarding heap, he rediscovers his love for the sport of snowboarding.
Things are starting to happen on the film. The script is ready to go, storyboards have been started, the search for cast and crew has commenced so we are seeking funding to really get the ball rolling on making the movie.
The film has an expected budget of about $1.2 million (budget has not been finalized yet) and is planning to be shot in HD on location in Aspen, CO and Moab, UT sometime in the near future. We hope to cast young up and coming actors that aren’t particularly well-known yet in the principal roles.
The plan is to get the movie made and then screen the finished film at film festivals and to get the movie out any way we can (in theaters, DVDs, whatever it takes!)
We know that we’ve got a great project here. This film could be to snowboarding what BLUE CRUSH is to surfing and LORDS OF DOGTOWN is to skateboarding; but, because we are an independent film not backed by a Hollywood studio, to make the movie we need your help. Every little bit counts. If you are interested in contributing to help get the movie made, contact us at
