“The Wish List” is the first film from Ellis Smith, Executive Producer and Director for Thrillhead Creations. Using the success of “Thrillhead’s” previous releases, “Schralptown” and “Return to Schralptown”, Blacksmith Productions shows that they are setting the standard for how adventure videos are both filmed and viewed.

 

According to Ellis, “Ski and snowboard films lack substance for viewers. People in the audience can’t relate to these mainstream films, it’s almost a virtual reality for them, something they can never attain. I am creating films that everyone in the audience can relate to. I like to create stories about people that make skiing and snowboarding more interesting. I want to appeal to skiers and non skier types alike and keep them entertained by the way I shoot and tell my stories.”

 

Focusing on all aspects of the ascent and decent, “The Wish List” is more than just another film with line after line, jump after jump scenes. Featuring clips from Crested Butte, British Columbia, Montana, Utah, Wyoming and scenes from all over Colorado, this film shows the joy, the sweat, the love, and dedication involved in chasing dreams and fulfilling “The Wish List”. Dolores Lachepelle once said, “Powder snow cannot merely be considered a metaphor for living, but rather, skiing powder shows us how to live.” With the skiing and riding of Jack Hannan, Jon Johnston, Jeremy Wagner, Susan Mol and Kent Haydon, “The Wish List” takes you on an unforgettable journey into the world of backcountry adventure.
