New Website and Trailer Launched for Seasons

February 21, 2008

Published by radek


The Collective, producers of Roam and The Collective have launched a new website and trailer in support of their latest mountain bike film, Seasons. The website is at www.thecollectivefilm.com and includes the trailer, rider videos, photo galleries, and more information about the film and its sponsors.
( 1 video )

Seasons is a film that follows seven of the world's top mountain bikers through the course of four seasons of one year. The film explores what it means to be a full time rider as told through the lives of downhill racers, slopestyle competitors, and big mountain freeriders.

The main riders in the film are: Darren Berrecloth, Matt Hunter, Cam McCaul, Steve Peat, Andrew Shandro, Steve Smith, and Thomas Vanderham. There will also be some guest appearances by others who cross paths with the main seven riders. The Collective has been working on Seasons non-stop for the last twelve months, and is now in post production on the film, cutting together footage from multiple shoots with every rider, ranging from slopestyle competitions to World Cup downhill races, to epic backcountry freeride shoots. “The film has been a ton of work for everyone involved,” says Jamie Houssian of The Collective, “so it's nice to finally see it come together in the studio. It's a new type of film for the action sports genre. We're stoked to show people something a little different”.

Seasons is sponsored by Specialized, Shimano, Adidas Eyewear, Whistler Mountain Bike Park, Bontrager, Dakine, Helly Hansen, and Pinkbike.com. The film's theatrical World Tour starts in April 2008 and the DVD will be available in May 2008 in bike shops worldwide and from www.thecollectivefilm.com

I haven't seen anything about if seasons was shot on 16mm or not. I'm assuming the collective are sticking with tradition?

I'm so excited for this movie. Roam created a new standard for films and even though it was shot a while ago (3 years ago I think) its still one of the best mtb films ever. Ever since it came out I've been waiting for this movie. I'm also really happy to see that steve smith has a part, its good to see a world-class Canadian downhiller.

Can't wait! The Collective and Roam are easily my favorite biking flics'.

Some of those shots look like they're shot with HD cameras, I wonder if there's any chance of an HD version?

I'm guessing there is no Romaniuk because of his switch in sponsorship, he does not ride for specialized anymore which is a sponsor of the film, most all those riders featured ride for at least one brand that sponsors the film im sure, and I dont think MONGOOSE has anything to do with the collective, I could be entirley wrong but in my opinion i think that is the reason we are not seeing him.

It's really cool that Steve Smith was thrown into the mix for this movie. He is arguably the most naturally talented canadian downhiller out there right now. He is the best bet for a podium this year and he pins it, just look at his Australian National Results.

That Movie is going to fly. Love the trailer! It has a difficult task to compete against their other two films though... I'm glad they seem to keep some nice stuff for the movie that they don't show in the trailer, and also that they DON'T have 27 Riders in the movie but just 7! And I am *very* happy about their choice... 'cause if you talk about wade not being in it and the old riders stepping out, you also have to recognize that Shandro is in it and he certainly is one of the "old guys"!

BTW; Hunter mentioned 8 Guys in an Interview last year, so probably it was Romaniuk who got kicked off the list... for wehatever reason.
