Film Commission Presents
“Flying Downhill with Bode Miller: The Early Years”
“Focus on Film” screening and presentation by
Movie Director William C. Rogers scheduled for Jan. 20
The Monterey County Film Commission plans its next “Focus on Film” event on a winter sports theme, screening the
“Flying Downhill with Bode Miller: The Early Years”
documentary, “Flying Downhill with Bode Miller: The Early Years” at Carmel’s Sunset Center, on Wednesday, Jan. 20, at 7 p.m.
The film spotlights one of the legends of sports—two-time Olympic medalist and potential Vancouver Olympics contender Bode Miller–whose hair-raising downhill ski racing and biography make for a fast-paced, visual experience. The skier has won 31 World Cup competitions, six World Championships and two Olympic Silver Medals.
Prior to the screening the movie’s director, William C. Rogers, will introduce the film and give a presentation on the challenges of making the movie, and will answer audience questions. He will also be on hand to meet attendees at a 6 p.m. reception at the Sunset Center.
Tickets are $15 for the general public; $12 for members of “Reel Friends of the Film Commission,” and $7 for full-time students. Tickets go on sale Jan. 8 at the Sunset Center box office at San Carlos and Ninth Street in Carmel, or by phone at 831-620-2048 and online at www.sunsetcenter.tix.com.
The event is co-sponsored by the Monterey County Weekly, Monterey Ski and Social Club, Monterey County Young Professionals Group, and Sunset Center.
