This makes Keep It Real feel perhaps more of a series of vignettes than one whole movie.
It works well in some areas and left me wanting in others.
So I wouldnt say I found it hard.
Its a different way to enjoy the process.
We made it work though and I feel blessed and lucky.
Throughout filming, I couldnt sleep much because of the stress.
I wanted that to come across in the movie, so I hope it does.
The first segment of the movie centers on Dom Laporte skiing urban in Quebec.
We all know that the French Canadians are bonkers and this segment proves it.
Loads of great party scenes in this segment get me itching for those season nights and the subsequent days.
Other filmmakers are putting more skiing into punchier half-hour pieces, but Jeremy tells many stories here.
They talk about music, skating, skiing, punk rock, hip-hop, and life.
Morten Grapes back surface blind 2 on the S-rail might be my favorite shot of the movie though.
Jake Carney in Whistler
The final segment of the movie is Jake Carney and friends shredding the Whistler park.
I knew this was coming as Id seen it in the teasers.
Part of the segment did suffer from over cutting and editing making it at times hard to watch.
Jakes skiing does the talking for him here though and this still is a great closing segment.
On the whole, Keep It Real is an interesting and unique piece of ski media.
I was a huge fan of Would You and I found it very hard not to compare the two.
However, as a cinematic piece on a single viewing, I found Keep It Real extremely engaging.
Keep It Real set out to tell some stories and change your perspective and it does just that.
I wanted to round this out with a couple more answers from the man himself.
MM: Which trip for this movie was your favorite to be on and why?
To be honest, all of those trips were specials on their own and I couldnt rank them.
I wont produce another full-length movie because I said everything I wanted to to the world for now.
