'Ice The Movie' - Hollywood Premiere

I look forward to seeing this movie written by a former skater, Maddison Bullock, who competed as a junior, and also as a collegiate skater. It was filmed in Colorado Springs where Bullock used to train with Christy Krall and Damon Allen. Bullock directed the skating sequencs in the film. Skaters who appear in cameo roles include Alissa Czisny and Max Aaron. Joined by Bullock at the premiere were Tai Babilonia, Brittany Vise, Sean Rabbitt, Braden Overett, et al.

Likely not as scandalous and darkly comedic as I, Tonya, but hopefully fun, entertaining and authentic. There needs to be more stories about figure skating out there, and I'm glad Bullock took the plunge.

"'Most skaters would agree that there aren't a lot of skating movies that do skating justice,' Bullock said. 'I understood skating. So I felt, Why don't I write a story that I want to watch?'

Ice The Movie will be available on Amazon this month."

Me too.
As someone who has written a figure skating novel (not a movie), I feel encouraged to see others putting their skating-related stories out there and increasing the visibility of our fine sport.

The movie is available for purchase through Amazon in U.S. and U.K. and worldwide through the video-sharing website Vimeo. To promote the movie, Bullock also has established an ambassador program. Skaters of all levels from all over the world can apply to the program (* see Editor’s Note below). Skaters will be selected to receive a special discount Vimeo code for the movie that they can share with friends and family. One dollar ($1) from every purchase using that code will go back to the skater for his or her training costs.
“It’s a cool way to encourage skaters to spread the word about the film and also potentially put money back for their own training expenses,” Bullock added.
Since its release, Bullock says she has been floored by the positive reaction to the movie from both inside and outside the skating community.
“At its core it’s a family movie about young women going for their dream,” she said. “There is something in it for everybody. I haven’t heard anything negative yet, so I’m really very happy with it.”
