WARREN MILLER fans.
Last night I attended the 2023 Warren Miller film. For the first time ever I was disappointed with the event and the film. The first half of the event was filled with Outside’s promotions, advertisements and voting for nonrelated independent videos, then a lengthy intermission before the actual Warren Miller film was finally shown.
This year’s film was also disappointing. It was composed of outtakes of previous WM films from the last 73 years. There seemed to be no new film footage. The outtakes were entertaining, but they got tedious after a while. Without new footage the production was likely cheaper to create than a traditional WM film. I give Outside failing grades on the event and although I have attended WF films annually I will certainly hesitate to attend next year. If you have yet to attend a showing of the film, you may want to consider sitting it out this year.
