The highly anticipated documentary about one of the world’s most dedicated freestyle skiers Shane McConkey debuted at the Tribeca Film Festival last night in New York. It was the World Premiere for MCCONKEY and the event brought together a cross-section of film industry elite, sports legends and friends at the New York City film festival.
MCCONKEY celebrates the life of one of the world’s ultimate innovators, Shane McConkey, a pioneer in freestyle skiing and BASE jumping. In the latest film from Red Bull Media House in association with Matchstick Productions, Shane’s legacy was center stage. Red carpet arrivals included the film’s five directors and fellow cast members such as companion and ski BASE jumper JT Holmes, who was with Shane on many of his pioneering adventures. Also in attendance was Karina Hollekim, the world’s famous female BASE jumper who flew in from Norway, who had this to say :
“What’s special about this movie for someone who’s not into action sports at all is just about seeing the love, the affection and the passion for life. To find something that makes you happy, something that makes you want to get up every morning and attack life with a huge smile.”
