Most sports films are just about the sports. This one is about more than that Daniel Frutos, screenwriter

A low-budget feature film project

LOGLINE: After crashing out during a halfpipe contest, a brash pro snowboarder struggles to regain his King of The Mountain status.

ABOUT THE MOVIE

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.

The plan is to shoot the film in HD on location in Aspen, CO and Moab, UT. We are looking to cast young up and coming actors that arent particularly well-known yet in the principal roles. The ultimate goal 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!)

WHY WE NEED THE FUNDING

Things are starting to happen on the film. The script is ready to go and we are ready to get the ball rolling on making the movie. The only thing that we're lacking is -- the money! Every penny raised (minus the fees for  IndieGoGo's support) goes directly to Cold Stoke's movie budget. Period. You're not paying for coffee but the real production costs of making the movie including travel/living for the cast and crew during production, production equipment, costumes, props, etc. 

This is the first fundraising drive for Cold Stoke. The goal is to raise $5,000 for pre-production costs. Any remaining funds from this drive will go straight to production.  Almost as importantly, other potential donors and investors will use our success at IndieGoGo as a gauge by which to measure the public appeal of our project, so your donation may be worth twice as much!

HOW YOU CAN HELP

You can help by making a financial contribution towards the film's budget. You can make a contribution on behalf of yourself or your company/organization. In exchange for your generous contributions, you can earn perks including a copy of the finished film on DVD all the way up to getting your name listed in the end credits of the film. For corporate sponsors, we have a perk to list your company on our website and in the film credits.  

WHY YOU SHOULD HELP

Cold Stoke is a very special project. There hasn't yet been a movie like this made. From the moment I wrote the script in 2006, it has always felt that this film could be to snowboarding what BLUE CRUSH is to surfing and LORDS OF DOGTOWN is to skateboarding.

Unfortunately, because it is an independent film not backed by a Hollywood studio; to make the movie, financial help is needed. Every little penny counts.Check out the media for the film, then decide for yourself if this is a film worth being a part of.

Thank you!
