We are delighted to report that The Mountain Within has been accepted for the Rossland Mountain Film Festival Showcase in Canada and will be screened on Saturday 21 November.

This is the second festival acceptance for the film after it was shown at the Avoca Beach Film Festival in Australia just last weekend. There is more to follow but in the meantime you can find out more about the festival here. http://www.rosslandfilmfest.com/

Help for Special Olympics

THE LOCAL Special Olympics program received a $850.75 boost from a two-night showing of “The Mountain Within”.  It documents seven disabled individuals’ trek up Mount Kilimanjaro in summer 2008.

More than 155 people came out to the two showings of the film Sept. 4 and all the proceeds were donated to the local special olympics here.  Gregory Rinaldi of Brag Productions says the film will be released to theatres in the UK soon.  Rinaldi plans to bring the film back to North America next summer,

Meanwhile, the film will be entered in as many film festivals as possible.

The screenings in Terrace on 4th September turned out to be a great success. Both screenings were close to sold out and the audience reaction to the film was again fantastic. Cynthia Northridge said “I thought it was a really powerful film, heartwarming and absolutely amazing”. The city of Terrace really embraced the event and made it into something special by helping to raise over $850 for Special Olympics Terrace.

One of TMW producers Gregory Rinaldi with the help of his sister Joan Wiebe were able to arrange everything needed for the screenings in under a week.  The banquet hall was donated by Best Western Terrace Inn, all of the audio/video equipment was provided by Sight & Sound and the posters, tickets and flyers were printed by Totem Press.  With the building blocks in place, it wasn’t long before everyone started talking about the film, bolstered by the help of the local media – two articles in the Terrace Standard, a ticket giveaway all week on CFTK’s Ryan Boult followed by promotions in the lead up to the screenings, a TV interview on the local news station and a radio interview on CBC radio.

Our faith in the message of the film was amplified when, in the hour between the first and second screenings, the audience from the first screening proceeded to call friends and family to get down to the second one.  The second screening ended up being even better attended than the first with extra chairs being brought in to accommodate the numbers. David Miller commented “It was an incredible tale of compassion and beautiful cinematography but most importantly for me was to show how something good can come from the obstacles in life”.

We will be starting our North America release next year and Terrace BC have shown us that we will be able to achieve our goals of raising both awareness and money for the charities involved.
