Warren Miller Film Screening
Friday (January 8), Castle Theater, MACC, 5:30/7:30pm, $12/$10

January 07, 2010 From sea to ski, Warren Miller is the preeminent pioneer of the sports documentary; ESPN, among others, credits him with creating the athletic/sport film genre. For the 60th installment of annual ski films—produced by him since 1950—comes the stunning high-definition film Dynasty (2009). Appositely, Miller was born in Hollywood in 1924, and at the age of 18, sailed the South Pacific while serving in the U.S. Navy during World War II. Upon his discharge in 1946, he wrestled up $100 to purchase his first 8mm camera, originally intending to film he and his friends surfing and skiing, so as to improve their form. But with his knack for capturing stunning shots and adding humorous narrative, he found a market for his work (for his first few gigs, he was paid in tuna casserole). By 1949, he'd formed Warren Miller Entertainment, and now has over 750 sports films to his credit, plus has published several non-fiction works. Now in his early 80s, he is working on an autobiography. Friday at the MACC, don't get left out in the cold. The projection lights may turn on at 7:30pm, but pre-show activities begin at 5:30pm. Grinds include Maui Tacos and Haleakala Snow Shave Ice's special "Jaws" combo cone. Plus, plenty of prizes from Second Wind Sail & Surf, Local Motion, Hana Hwy. Surf Co., Naish Maui Pro Center and more. Literally the coolest activity is the "real" snow being created onsite, where keiki can trade in their winter whitewash for winter whiteout. 242-7469 or www.mauiarts.org
