Press Release: Jeremy Jones

Big Mountain Snowboarding Legend and Environmental Activist Jeremy Jones will be a featured Athlete in GREEN RUSH. Thanks to our friend and fellow film maker Chris Edmonds who was generous enough to share with us some of his footage of Jeremy hiking and slashing lines in the Tahoe backcountry. Chris runs a production company called Leeward Cinema. Two years ago they produced a film called "My Own Two Feet". Chris and a group of dedicated back country snowbaorders spent an entire season filming completely under man power. They hiked, camped and shredded the back country of California. It was the first ever completely man powered snowboard video and set a president for eco awareness and back country appreciation. Check it out at Leeward Cinema.com


After that season Jeremy Jones decided Chris was one of the only filmers out there that could hang with his level of adventure and backcountry exploration. For the past two seasons Chris has been Jeremy's personal filmer joining him on a variety of hard core backcountry trips while filming for the new big mountain snow boarding movie by Teton Gravity Research called "Deeper".
