If you read the Studio Blog, you’re already well aware of our love for Banff, Alberta in Canada. Imagine how excited we were when we discovered that the Banff Mountain Film Festival makes a stop in Cleveland!

We attended the festival last year for the first time and we were instantly hooked. It’s a wonderful array of adventure films and video essays about people’s connection to the outdoors. We appreciate On the Edge Films for bringing this great event to Cleveland!

This year, GC Creative Studio will be exhibiting at the event. We will have our music (including the just released, Pianoflow CD) and our brand new Water Films DVD on hand!

Here are the details…

The 35th annual Banff Mountain Film Festival travels to over 285 communities and 30 countries around the world. From an exploration of remote landscapes and mountain cultures to adrenaline-fueled action sports, this year’s films are sure to captivate.

You may be thinking, a Water Film from New York City?

You bet. Because Central Park is an oasis of calm in the middle of fast paced urban living. As you watch, it might be hard to imagine that there were thousands of people just outside of the camera’s eye. Many city dwellers were enjoying the day in nature.

We’ve been pondering this spot ever since our visit because it’s amazing that this rectangular slice of nature seems to bring an entire urban metropolis into balance.

If you desire a ten minute break today, sink into your chair and become transformed by the beauty of Central Park.

The soundtrack for this film is called “November Day,” a piano solo inspired by that warm autumn afternoon. You can download it here.

Press play to refresh your mind and body.

You can also watch it on YouTube.

Also, the video link is appearing on a site of our new friends at HawaiianLife.com. They are always kind enough to share Water Films with their community. This cool site features a blog, photos, music, links and a community of people who are dedicated to “getting in touch with the true Hawaiian spirit.” Check them out!

In early 2011, we will be releasing a DVD of these Water Films so people can take them wherever they like and watch the videos in full HD.

The Studio Blog is officially two years old! It’s now being presented in its brand new home as our website has been redesigned.

Michael Lehto has reshaped the site to be more attractive and clear for all of our visitors and we are very appreciative of his expertise and creativity.

Thanks to all the loyal readers of the blog. Your feedback has been instrumental in the development of the content of this site.
