“I know how special the place is, but I think it’s great to get to share it with a lot of people. They’re also featuring Showdown as part of the plot in the script.” –George Gold, Showdown’s digital marketing director
The movie is about around a father and son who move from Southern California to Montana, and the teenage son exchanges surfing for snowboarding (quite similar to 1993 Airborne about a surfer stranded in Cincinnati who takes up rollerblading). Unlike Airborne, this movie features a sidekick dog “with special skills in snowboarding.”
Walter the dog is actually already a bit famous on Instagram for skateboarding and snowboarding (videos below). Along with the K9 talent, the film will include 50+ people from Central Montana as extras in a fictional event called Powder Fest. Currently “Powder Pup” is scheduled to premiere in October of 2023.
