Snowboarding
First Look: Travis Rice Unveils 'The Fourth Phase'
Watch the teaser and see exclusive photos from Travis Rice's highly anticipated new film.
Without further ado, this is “The Fourth Phase.” For the first time since dropping what’s widely considered to be the best action sports movie of all time, “The Art of FLIGHT,”Travis Rice and some of the best talent in snowboarding will return to the big screen for our viewing pleasure. Rice's highly anticipated new project will premiere sometime in fall 2016, and it promises to raise the bar yet again for the genre.
“It has taken everything I have learned over my life to prepare for what the past several years has challenged us with," Rice said. "Immersion into the winter wilderness with a few trusted comrades and a vow to not ride anything we have ever ridden before has made this the most exciting project yet. We have a team of some of the most committed riders, and a production crew that has gone all in. We’re headed back into the field soon, but before we go dark again we wanted to share a taste of what we’ve been working on.”
The teaser is an exclusive taste of what to expect from Rice and the Brain Farm crew next year. It will be the first snowboard movie filmed entirely with 4K cameras, and no expenses were spared en route to this compilation of what is sure to be some timeless ripping from a very, very stacked cast. Rice is joined by Mark Landvik, Mikkel Bang, Eric Jackson, Pat Moore and Bryan Iguchi and they're filmed in a fashion like you’ve never seen before.
The project has been a multi-year production, and Rice has run a pretty tight ship over the course of the filming thus far. His social media accounts have become vague and useless tracking mechanisms for his travels, as he makes sure to digitally cover up his footprints after every step onto fresh powder. That means that every drop of information we get from Rice between now and the film premiere will be substantial, intentional and likely mind-blowing.
The film is under the directorial savvy of a two-man team, Curt Morgan and Jon “JK” Klaczkiewicz, both action sports heavyweights and visionaries within the snowboarding world.
“Making this film has been one of the most challenging yet gratifying experiences in my life,” said Morgan, CEO of Brain Farm and the same director who worked with Rice on “That’s It, That’s All” and “The Art of FLIGHT.” “Our team has pushed deep into the backcountry with new technology in hopes to capture snowboarding in a way it has never been seen before.”
