I am very happy to report that the first public showing of "Cloudstreet: Soaring the American West" occurred last night at the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science on the 50 foot Dyna Theater screen. Three hundred viewers got a chance to experience this truly unique showing of the project that exhibits so much of our passion for soaring. The audience response was quite overwhelming.

The original musical score by Matt Pavolaitis and Colleen Grace greatly enhanced the beautiful scenery in the video, Dave Pettit's narration showcased the story and helped educate the audience about the science and art of soaring and the excellent editing and direction by Matt Murray combined with the photographic art of Dave Bixler and Phyllis Murray produced a truly amazing documentary.

The soaring world owes a huge THANK YOU! to Mike Abernathy and Carolyn Galceran for their dream and commitment to this ten year project. Special thanks also to the major sponsors: The Conrad N. Hilton Foundation, the Soaring Society of America and Stemme A.G.

PBS will release this video to affiliate stations immediately, and it is scheduled for airtime on May 27 at 9:00 pm on KNME in Albuquerque. Availability on DVD, Blu-Ray and iTunes is scheduled for May 28. Go to www.cloudstreethd.org for more information.

While download from I-Tunes/Google Play was an option the Blu-Ray video and sound quality of Cloud Streets were worth the price of buying the hard copy from Amazon. I got my disc about 48 hours after ordering. The package also came with a standard DVD which I plan to share with friends and potential glider pilots.

Although the quality isn't comparable to Cloudstreet, we have made a documentary trying to explain the thrill of soaring and atracting new practioners:

It was filmed during an expedition we did at Brazil's Northeast region

Hope you enjoy!

It was incredible! I cannot wait to buy my Blu-Ray copy and tape it on PBS next week (probably with Viking not as good as the hype Cruise ads flanking it, hehe).

I am trying to figure out who those two guys were from Moriarty that spoke so eloquently in the film though. They looked familiar...

Just incredible!

The two guys from Moriarty are Mark Mocho and Bill Hill. The SSA has a Blu Ray DVD combo pack available now.

We had our first people call Sundance Aviation at Moriarty for glider
rides inspired by watching Cloudstreet on PBS. When they learned that
we wouldn't tow them almost 30 miles to Sandia Mountain, they cancelled!

My brother kindly sent me the BluRay/DVD combo from the US (I live in the UK) and I watched the first half last weekend and loved it. It's really beautifully made and it's going to be great to show to my friends to help them understand what it is I do up there. Highly recommended.

Any possibility of also distributing Cloudstreet on Google Play? Itunes does not work on Android devices (or on Chromebooks).

I second the request to release on google play. I don't use i-anything ( not an apple fan ), and haven't used DVDs in years. Releasing on Play would open this up to a much larger audience.
