Montana-made trail running film premieres at Emerson
Local collaborative TofuCru will premiere its new trail running film Promise of the Pines with a special event at Bozeman’s Emerson Center for the Arts & Culture on Thursday,
January 30th. The film documents the rigorous highs and lows from the first trail run of a 200-mile backcountry route. The event begins at 6:30pm.
In the summer of 2019, a group of college students embarked on a journey unknown. Over the course of 6 days, this eager group gathered together to endure nature’s love and wrath whilst navigating the hidden trails of Southwest Montana. Through pain, sweat, and dedication, dilemmas between life and death, perseverance, and strength unfold. Promise of the Pines captures their story and attempts to convey the elation, terror and companionship uncovered during this experience of a lifetime.
A live performance from local bluegrass folk band Wind and the Willows will follow the film premiere. The evening will also feature a discussion with the filmmakers. Advance tickets are $8 (plus fees) at www.tofucru.com, where you can also view the film trailer. Day of show tickets will be available for $10 at the door. Doors at 6pm.
Tofu is a collaboration of outdoor-based artists, athletes and adventurers who create films, photographs and other creative forms of art. •
