“Is this real life?” Yep. Thanks to Teton Gravity Research (TRG), we get to see what it’s like to not only live on the edge, but what it’s like to live off the edge, flying, falling, climbing… “One for the Road” follows world-class snow athletes in pursuit of challenging nature, physics, the human body and spirit. This film captures what most people will never get to experience. L-I-V-I-N!

Shot on location with some of the world’s most progressive snow sports athletes, TRG brings home epic footage of winter adventures using some of the world’s most technologically advanced cameras including Phantom, RED, GoPro HD, and Canon DSLR. From a record-breaking season in Jackson Hole to Iceland and the Balkan wonders of Macedonia – watch these athletes explore more as they continue through Montenegro, while shredding deep pillow lines at Baldface Lodge and uncover first descents in Pemberton, BC.

Only a select few cities have the privilege of seeing this in the theater and Flagstaff, Arizona is one of them. Tuesday, November 15, 2011, Kachina Peaks Avalanche Center (KPAC) is having its annual fundraiser at the Orpheum Theater. “One for the Road” will have two evening showings, 7pm and 9pm. Proceeds go to KPAC’s avalanche awareness and safety clinics. There will be raffles and silent auction items – and of course an amazing film being shown in a theater with some really great people.

Come support KPAC and experience an unbelievable adventure while sitting in a cozy, warm seat at the Orpheum Theater.

Following an arduous hiking and rafting adventure in the Grand Canyon, a group of people with developmental and physical disabilities are hoping film of their triumph will educate the nation.

A Public Broadcasting Service documentary titled “Right to Risk” chronicles the group’s 15-day, 220-mile journey. The documentary opens in eight major cities, including Phoenix, on Wednesday and hits theaters nationwide Nov. 1.

The documentary exposes one of the greatest accomplishments in recreational activities for people with disabilities.

Teresa Parker, who has spina bifida, is one of the eight people featured in the film.

In one scene, she trudges along a rocky path using crutches. The others are dozens of yards ahead of her.

When she finishes the hike, Parker’s eyes well up. Her fellow hikers cheer for her as she wills her final steps.

“They weren’t clapping because the disabled girl finally made it,” she said. “They were clapping because I made it,” she said. “I have a right to push myself and feel good when I cross the finish line just as anybody else.”

PHOENIX — Three Arizona cities will play starring roles in a Hollywood film that will be shooting in Cave Creek on Monday.Big Earl’s Greasy Eats, a gas station turned burger joint, is being rented for the day by a film crew shooting a scene for “Joleen,” directed by Donald Sutherland. A location scout was passing through Cave Creek a month ago and thought Big Earl’s would be perfect for the pivotal scene in which leading lady Jessica Chastain meets bad guy Dermot Mulroney, said Eric Westerlund, owner of Big Earl’s. The restaurant will be turned into a drive-up burger joint with carhops on roller skates, said Westerlund, who added that one of his employees, 21-year-old Kari Johnson, will have a role in the film as a skating carhop.Westerlund would not say how much he’s being paid for the gig. “But I can’t complain,” he said.Scenes for “Joleen” are also being shot at a tattoo parlor in downtown Scottsdale and in Prescott to simulate North Carolina.
