HUNTING YETIS: Webisode #1
WELCHES, Oregon (February 15, 2008) – Where IDEA left off, the new webisode series of “Hunting Yeti” begins. The short films feature the sliding abilities of Pep Fujas, Eric Pollard, Chris Benchetler, Andy Mahre, and friends. Witness all the action as the Nimbus Independent crew begins the season at Mt. Hood and finishes up at North Cascade Heli-Skiing during the epic snows in January.
Nimbus, along with Rip.Tv and its partners, is building a new model for filmmaking and what it means for audiences, athletes and sponsors through online distribution. “Hunting Yeti”, presented by K2 Skis, is now streaming using the Rip.Tv media player on our supporting partner websites: K2 Skis, Evogear, Helly Hansen, Oakley, Tecnica, Marker, Dragon, Dakine, Atomic, Line, VAS Entertainment, Freeskier, Fri Flyt, Transition, Fall Line Skiing, Skieur, Freeskiers.net, Chill Factor, Poor Boyz Productions, and Rip.Tv.
Three versions of the first “Hunting Yeti” webisode are available for viewing. Streamed versions on the partner sites consist of two segments at 13 and 10 minutes in duration with a third full-length 28-minute version for computer and iPod viewing available for download off of the producer’s page at www.rip.tv/nimbusindependent.
“Hunting Yeti” is presented by K2 Skis and produced by Nimbus Independent in association with Poor Boyz Productions. Nimbus is producing five webisodes premiering on the 15th of February, April, August, and October.
