HANG DOGS

[hattrickjn27]

The hang dog is an awful tease, he likes to hang from limbs of trees. And when he sees you walking near, he reaches down and licks your ear.

[litespeedRS]

Hang dog is a climber's term that refers to someone who hangs on pro in order to get up a climb--not necessarily a complimentary term. I'd seriously consider getting that out. Semi-naked hang booty is a great addition--even if I've never seen any in hang gliding in 26 years of flying. : )

[thebrackster]

has it been filmed yet and if so when will it be released in the uk.?

[thebrackster]

are Purple Crayon behind this feature..?

[tsanlaredes]

@thebrackster

Yes

[Ex3B]

Oh, and could you tell us more about this project and status over on hanggliding (dot) org if you have time?

Someone started a thread about this trailer, which is how I found it.

[tsanlaredes]

Hi Ex3B,

Could you please send me a link to that thread. I haven't had much lick searching it out again. Had to finish a feature to raise some capitol for this one.

Best,

Peter

[Ex3B]

Keep in mind, Based on a true story != true story.

Feel free to add more T&A and drama.

Every other movie exaggerates, you can too

[tsanlaredes]

Hi Ex3B. College Hang gliding film - Need I say more, plenty of real life action and drama to be had without making stuff up.

Thanks for the feedback!

[Ex3B]

College can always have more T&A added!

[thebrackster]

Any news... and does anyone know the music at the begining of the trailer

[pirkebojan]

is any date for out ???

[hawkairxc]

so, whats up with the movie?? We are still waiting hopefully !!

[tsanlaredes]

The film is alive and well. We will start shooting this fall. We had to take a detour and produce a smaller feature to generate the interest with the backers and generate working capital. I am very grateful for all of the encouraging comments and support from fellow pilots! You all know what it takes to run off a cliff, the commitment and passion it takes to be a good pilot - it is that very same commitment and passion that inspires us to make this movie. Thanks again!

[hawkairxc]

Do I get able to watch this production in Germany in the future??? I think it is an great promotion to motivate upcoming and new pilots in Europe !!! thanks for your reponse.

[vidajavi25]

I´m happy to hear of a film about hang gliding. When will the film be finished? Will I be able to watch this film in Spain in the future? I´m a hang gliding pilot in Spain and I got really excited hearing of this film!

[thebrackster]

Is there any news on a release date..??

[ASW8055]

PLEASE!!!!! Make this movie! This would be great for the sport!.

[Nabboraner]

This movie has to be done!

[Buddha2707]

Very inspiration. I wish you all the best

[thebrackster]

Does anyone the music at the start of this film..

[wodybode]

Good taster, I hope you get the funding.

[wallacestuart]

'Great teaser. I put a plug in for Hang Dogs and your web site on Facebook. In the Spring 2009 course schedule for Lakes Region Community College, I saw the paragraph and your picture on the Media Arts Internships. Hopefully you get some quality interns to help with The Kingsmen's Redeemer. Wally Stuart

[doffincodger]

I hope the movie gets airborne too!

[sherwood01384]

Great idea, we have movies about all other sports!

[chasleton]

Great now the whole world is going to know my 26year secret. Good luck with the project guys

[LKmoose]

Anything to do with positively portraying the sport that has given me so much pleasure needs supporting. Fantastic subject to write a storyline around - go and enjoy your flight

[crispytoenails]

This looks awsome. Someone needs to make this!!!!

[eckenschlopf]

You bring it to our cinemas and I will start hang gliding! Fantastic inspiration.

[HangGlidingFreaK]

Great idea!

Possible a resurrection of the popularity from hanggliding!

[hansmeiser222]

more, more, more

[evgenylambada]

Great video!!Great project!!

[barium111]

This movie would rock.

[hawkairxc]

I think so, too

[vibe2005]

Although I do paragliding I´d love to see this movie on cinema! I wish you all that luck!

[kawaschl]

Perfekt idea, the scenes were great. Please more!!!!

[schwizer1]

Great Project!!

[akrovertigo]

No its time for a very good movie! :-)

Hang Dogs.... GREAT...

Cheers

Akro-Vertigo

[akrovertigo]

i mean NOW its time for a great movie! ;-)

[punse99]

oh damn I Love this Video. I hope they can make the film and I can see it at Germany!

[werner1123]

I love this trailer. Hang gliding is such a fantastic sport but almost nobody knows it.

[martinalkin]

Nice trailer, reminds me on my fist times (learning and training). I especially like the trainers' comments (left, left). It would be great if a big audience could grasp a little bit of the pilots addiction and feelings embedded in a nice story (which faszinates also non pilots). I keep fingers crossed that you succeed and I am willing to support you.

[bockesco]

great stuff!

Hollywood needs a hang gliding movie!

[AMAZINGPROSTATE]

haha too true

[transsib]

Great stuff! Liked it! :-)

[greenrudi]

!!!!!!!:)

Great

[DjFirebird]

Perfect Video!! Hope I'll see this film also in Germany!

[mcmatrix2]

best vid ever !!!!!!!!

[playboater15]

Possible the greatest film ever made... Eat your heart out TOPGUN!

[zitrone3000]

Hey,

realy great. Thats the spirit of hang gliding. This looks like the perfect hang gliding movie.

Hang gliding forever!!!!!

[YoungAlastair]

Shows real potential. Why not sell shares in this movie to raise the finance. I'd buy £50 worth.

[mbbarnes]

I love the setting. A college comp in the 80's when hang gliding was popular and life was cheesy

[silvampereira]

great idea! you will pack theater rooms with the most fantastic images! one coverage of any championship and you'll get your hands full of them...

best luck to you from brazil!

[wexford1uk]

Love it. I'll go and I'll take everybody I know.

[picolily]

Agreed - good promo - lose the cheesy american dialogue though..

[cloudeater]

Gordon is that you at 1min 55...????

[rnikoley]

Make the movie. Maybe work on the dialog, a bit.

[skyrider77]

Cool - Great Quality. Would love to see something like this on the big screen to show off our sport to the masses

[normiputki]

Excellent filming. It's a bit rough on the edges, but I think this has potential!

[jacoherbst]

i like

[wirelessmac]

A story that needs to be told. Great start.

[JCN1956]

Interesting subject, nice tone, nice music, intriguing. Let's have more!

[ricglas]

More please.

[kirkjufell]

What a great trailer!

[jjcote]

If the film turns out to be anywhere near as good visually as the trailer is, this will be excellent. I'm looking forward to it (and possibly bumping into you at the flying sites when filming gets rolling).

[KabalaKook]

I loved it! Please keep this going! This has got the potential to be a great movie! The images were great! There´s one pilot who is hanging too high on the basetube, it looks much better when the pilot has his head lower than his feet! This movie needs lots of airshots, please don´t save money on airshots!! Congratulations on your effort!

[amour159]

This has great potential. I find most people are fascinated by hang gliding, even if they have no intention of ever trying it.

[highperspective]

I'd love to see it finished and on the big screen. Keep it up.

[aylesmerep]

The actors already seem up to the job and I liked the "heartstrings" music too.

[aylesmerep]

This has lots of potential. The flying shots from a following glider are extremely good. Take up Ryan Voight's offer - he's an established hang glider filmer. I'll see it regardless of how good it is just to see my favourite sport on a big screen - an excellent story too with great screen writing and sympathetic lead characters will get the groundbound punters flocking in the door! I think you could improve the teaser element by including just a little more of the story line...

[nathanrebbetoy]

hope this works out for you and all of us that fly. Our sport needs more positive light shed on it.

[jesse2006]

super awesome, i hope this builds the sports participation, invention, safety and interest in adding flight parks in america.

[adamp]

fantastic! about time a HG movie is put together.

[gasdive]

I've got a 1985 Moyes GTR that you can have! Might look a bit better than the keel pocketless gliders you've got. Looking forward to seeing the movie... At last a HG movie that doesn't make you groan.

[russellferrier]

Great stuff, just what we need to open up the sport to all people.

[rokryder2002]

Cant wait to see the movie.

Hang gliding is amazing its about time somebody did a good movie with it as a storyline.

[NMERider]

Great trailer! I can't wait to see the finished production on the big screen. I used to hang glide in New Hampshire back in the 70's with some of the 'Bushwackers'. Thumbs Up!

[jdfly]

Looks Like an awesome movie idea. There is rarely an original idea anymore. I hope it all works out.

[Redbeard01]

more power to you! I cant wait to see the feature film!

[unclepappy]

The cinematography is excellent. It really feels like I'm flying. Its hard to find films like this that exhibit a great story and originality. Are you working on anything else? Love to see more!

[MovieProducerX]

Makes me want to try it out. The Cinematography is amazing. Great color. This is probably the best looking YouTube footage I have ever seen.

[infidelmeister]

I'm just a weeny hangpuppy (PG) -- but we still have lots of fun, especially thermalling

[flyhigh013]

There is a LOT of potential here... it's a film that the flying community really needs, and it needs to be done right! If you need any help, I have a degree in video production and own/operate a hang gliding school at Point of the Mountain in Utah. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help. Also would love to be IN the movie... need anyone to do aerobatics for it???

-Ryan Voight

[MovieProducerX]

I think Cheepnis42 is jealous. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to more posts.

[whuffo80s]

So cool! I am a hang glider pilot. I used to fly one of those single surface kites back in the 80s;I think it was a Sea Hawk. Someone definitely needs to make a good film about hang gliding and this looks like it. Where can I donate some money? I bet other pilots would kick in to get this to screen! Hey, and if you need a pilot to act in it let me know. Good luck!

[daviwils]

Looks like a very original idea for a movie..

[MovieProducerX]

Looks like it will be a great movie. Do you have distribution yet. I haven't seen any movies with hang gliding in them. Looks original. Where can I buy a copy?

Look forward to seeing more.
