# Production of Full-Length Ski Film + IRL Event

## TLDR

We're producing a full-length film during the upcoming Winter season that will cover all aspects of skiing, from pow to Street skiing. Part of which will be at Rusutsu Resort in Hokkaido, Japan, featuring the first ever Gnars snow opstacles.

We're proposing a dual ask from both Alps and Gnars to help support the initiative.

## Description

Utah-based professional free-skiers, Bennie Osnow and Seamus Flanagan will be traveling the world, seeking the best of the best in terms of terrain and conditions.

One confirmed location is Rusutsu Resort in Hokkaido, Japan - where Nouns proposal 218 is currently being carried out. We aim to spend time at the resort, capturing the Nouns activation with Alps, along with what the area is renowned for: deep, pristine powder.

We're collaborating with the team working at Rusutsu on a gnarly event - an "expression session", for which we've already secured sponsors that will provide gear to give away.

Sponsors include companies like Line Skis, Armada Skis, Jiberish, Wells Lamont, and Day Maker Touring Bindings. These companies boast a combined Instagram following of over 600,000 followers.

We'll be enhancing the existing activation plans by offering more pro skiiers displaying their talent, ride together time, and the chance to win gear provided by sponsors, plus filming the whole event.

We'll also create a separate, captivating video that can be posted on Gnars youtube. This video will be dedicated to the activation, much like the one previously produced for Gnars, but this one showing how 3 intertwined onchain communities (Nouns, Gnars & Alps) can come together and do something amazing. We aim to illustrate how joining these onchain communities can empower people to do what they love.

We're working with an acclaimed videographer, and have partnered with Level 1 Productions for film distribution.

Level 1 Productions is a renowned ski film production company, with a large following and a history of producing award-winning films. They have a combined social media following of over 310,000 followers, and their films are distributed worldwide with an annual reach of over 24 million people. They also have a movie premeire tour where they go all over presenting some of the best movies from the season prior.![IMG_7011](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/SkX0otsUp.jpg)


## The Ask


We've already secured:
- Sponsors providing gear for giveaways and prizes
- Rusutsu providing accommodation, lift passes and airport transfers
- 1.5 ETH from the existing activation budget (Nouns prop 218)

And we're asking for:
- 1.5 ETH from Alps
- $3,500 USDC from Gnars

We believe that collaboration between these communites and the resort is a powerful combination to bring more awareness and understanding about what it means to be "onchain" to the snow-sports culture.

This funding and sponsorship will further help cover our crew's travel costs, accommodations (outside of Rusutsu), and will empower us to dedicate our entire winter to filming this project, ensuring the highest quality end product that will reach and inspire thousands of passionate skiers and snow-sports enthusiasts.

## Deliverables

- Title sponsorship of the feature-length film with Nouns, Gnars & Alps logos, which will be posted on Level 1's Youtube.
- Parts in the film featuring Nouns, Gnars & Alps at Rusutsu.
- A dedicated video about the Rusutsu trip specifically, featuring the Giant Noggles and the 2 terrain park opstacles - the first snow opstacles in the world. A testament to bringing more shredders onchain.
- IRL event collab at Rusutsu Resort, Japan.
- Continue to tag Gnars in social media posts.
