Usually a backdrop for ski/snowboarding, Park City and the fest could serve as an ideal venue to showcase Lucy Walker’s latest untitled film, a docu on Kevin Pearce and his horrible injury/accident which will show in an uncompleted form at the IDFA this year. Walker has so far brought 2002’s Devil’s Playground, 2010’s Waste Land and Countdown to Zero and last year’s Jury Prize Short, The Tsunami and the Cherry Blossom to the fest. Also on slate for Walker are shorts films Crooked Lines and Secrets of the Mongolian Archers.
Gist: The dramatic story of one unforgettable character, Kevin Pearce. One eye-popping sport, snowboarding. And one explosive issue, Traumatic Brain Injury.
Production Co./Producers: Tree Tree Tree’s Lucy Walker and Julian Cautherley for Kevin Rides Again, LLC,
