As we talked at Thai Wakepark, we are coming close to the release of Eclipse and have some idea before the official launch date of 23rd December. If Rip Curl could support it would be awesome.
We want to premier but by doing this, raise money for Mac Rosen who lost his leg while riding in Phuket (for Thai team in an event).
So our idea is to premier Eclipse 1 week before. We will ask venues that wish to premier, to donate USD200.00 as a premiere fee, and encourage them to look at other ways to raise funds. I am hoping we can raise around USD10,000.00 we also want to raise awareness about the risk in this industry.
Since the edit will only be 8 minutes, the idea would be to show TAO (riding only, with some added clips) and also put together something to explain what happened to Mac Rosen.
So first step would be Thai Cable Parks. We have Bangkok and Phuket cables already behind this.
We then think of Bali Wakepark, other cables around the Asia Pacific. Beyond that we would like to get the backing of industry sponsors that are in the sport, such as Liquid Force, Sesitec, Spy etc. Ideally if we get this right we can make it a worldwide premier and with fund raising.
We may do a subscription for individuals also, my idea was to try and so this, including footage of the premier night also, but I need to talk with Andy on the timing of all this.
Understanding that Rip Curl have cancelled all parties due to the passing of HM the King, I wondered if this concept would work well for your marketing team to back something like this. We could add coverage of the event (Thai Wakepark) on to the final Eclipse release?
