Woodshed Film's Latest :: 180 SOUTH :: Santa Barbara Premiere

From today's Brushfire Records e-newsletter. Looking forward to seeing this new Woodshed Films production:)



180 SOUTH is the story of one of the most unique and prolific environmentalists of our time: Yvon Chouinard.

Rather than re-living Yvon's story through old photos and his life's work with pie charts, 180 SOUTH weaves Chouinard's tale through a modern day expedition. This expedition was inspired by the rumor of a legendary trip in 1968 and the proof that came with it when the lost cans of film that documented the trip were recently discovered. The old footage captures Chouinard and best friend Doug Tompkins in 1968 as they explore untouched mountain ranges and un-surfed coastline on a 5000 mile expedition from California to deep Patagonia. Be one of the first to see the film on the big screen at its world premier.

I prefer the "new" trailer on the 180 SOUTH website, but couldn't embed it here.
