First and foremost, I want to let you know that I just returned from the world premiere of “CLAIM, The Greatest Ski Movie… EVER!” in Whistler, BC. The Telus Conference Centre was totally sold out Sunday night and the standing-room-only crowd was stoked. With the likes of Abma, Hoji, Hugo, Ingrid, Rory, Pettit, Heim, and Rubens in the house, the roof practically came off every time the audience saw something they liked. Hey, 1,700+ screaming fans can’t be wrong… but check out the pictures and judge for yourself.

On a related note, the MSP Movie Tour is ready to roll out across the US and Canada, with show #2 taking place in Vancouver, BC at the Park Theatre this Wednesday night. There are plenty of shows left, so don’t stress if you missed the Whistler show. Be sure to go over and visit Skimovie.com/tour for dates, news, and information.

While you’re there, stop and take a look at the new and improved “mspTV” page. Six brand new segments have already been uploaded for your viewing pleasure, with more to come over the next few weeks. Check back often to stay current on the haps with MSP.

Once you’ve checked out all those exclusive online clips and made yourself good and ready, jump on over to the “Store” page because “CLAIM” is available for pre-order now on DVD and will be shipping straight from us to you after the first of October. For all you home-theater types out there, we have even more exciting news: a full HD BluRay version of “CLAIM” will be available soon. Stay tuned for more news and information – we’ll be posting updates to Skimovie.com as things develop.

And last but certainly not least, I want to send out a HUGE congratulations on behalf of the entire crew here at MSP Films to Mr. and Mrs. Scott Gaffney, who welcomed their second child, Dane, into the Matchstick family on Tuesday morning. If that’s not enough, stay tuned for more baby news in coming days, because there’s another one right around the corner…
