Into The Mind is that good I’ve only owned it one week and I’ve already watched it all the way through, three times. The guys at Sherpas Cinema have done an amazing job here, combining breathtaking cinematography with a storyline full of meaning and metaphor. I’d highly recommend this to any climber or snowsports fan, but it’s so well done almost anyone will enjoy it.
I found it particularly fascinating to watch from a videographer’s point of view as it was obvious the guys had a clear overall concept for the movie and they must have put a huge amount of thought and time into each shot. One of the best scenes is the use of time-lapse clips of nature moving in time with the in and out breathing of an injured skier as he lies in a hospital bed after a nasty wipe out. Very clever and brilliantly done.
Check out the trailer:
The film is described on www.sherpascinema.com as:
“… 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.”
The film was also co-directed by JP Auclair, Leo Hoorn and Renan Ozturk. Renan features quite a lot in this great BTS video, worth a watch:
