Last year's festival had incredible high quality films! The big winners were:

Curt Morgan's cinematic masterpiece THAT'S IT, THAT'S ALL. It took top honors for "Best Film" and "Best Cinematography" setting a new standard of cinematography for the action sports film industry. The Hi Def and 35 mm stunning film, shot in New Zealand, Munich, Valdez, Tokyo, and Jackson Hole, features epic snowboarding footage and fluid camera work. Travis Rice also won "Best Athlete." THAT'S IT, THAT'S ALL is the highest grossing film in Action Sports filmmaking to date!

Dave Mossop won "Best Director" for his film THE FINE LINE, a clever and cinematic view of the world's best skiers, snowboarders, snowmobilers and climbers interacting with avalanche specialists and depicting responsible back country action.

First-time filmmaker Dave Arnold from England won two awards for his film MENEJAR OMBAK (CHASING WAVES). One for "Original Score" and a second win as the "VAS Emerging Filmmaker." His soulful intimate film details the life of Dede Suryana, a Muslim surfer from a small fishing village in Indonesia who is on the fast track to being a top global contender.

Ty Ponder's BETWEEN THE LINES won "Best Documentary," a poignant look at Vietnam War through the prism of the surfing sub-culture.

"Best Biography" went to CLAY MARZO: JUST ADD WATER, directed by Jamie Tierney. This film explores the life and incredible surfing talent of Clay Marzo who has Aspergers Syndrome.

X-Dance received hundreds of entries from all over the world and the 40 top films made the competition last year. Half of the submissions were from outside the U.S. The quality and competition should be just as incredible this year!

X-Dance truly believes that the filmmakers in action sports are the most cutting-edge filmmakers in all of the entertainment industry! We believe that there will be a break out film that will come through the X-Dance Film Festival that will be the blockbuster that sends action sports filmmaking into Hollywood and mainstream recognition.

If you don't have a film for this year's festival, we're sure you know friends and colleagues who do. Spread the word and come out to support and see the best action sports films in the world.

Be a part of the tenth anniversary of X-Dance---the greatest Action Sports Film Festival on the planet.
