The Columbia Sportswear OmniGames: The Making of a Movie

We’re going to try something a little different this week!

As you’ll soon realize, dozen of recaps will be floating through the interwebs as a requirement of the final challenge in the OmniGames. Naturally, I could give you a play-by-play {and I will, don’t worry!}, but I’d like to make it a bit more fun. You see, I feel like I literally just walked out of a movie set where my life was completely surreal for three days….and I love the movies.

So I’m going to take that sense of cinematography and run with it!

Here’s the deal: I’m going to write a series of OmniGames adventure posts. Friday’s post will be the highlight of the week with our film premiere: my teammate, Caleb Farro, and I will release our very own OmniGames movie!

{And trust me—it’s gonna be sweet! While I may have the editing skills of an uneducated monkey, Caleb is actually a production assistant for GoPro so the man knows his movies! In fact, I’m pretty psyched to see it myself!}

The catch? I’d like to make it more fun for y’all while still keeping the spirit of the movies, so we’re going to play a bit of a trivia game…

Want to play?

Each recap will include a variety of movie references. If you want to play, try to find the references and identify them in the comments. There may be one; there may be a dozen. It’s hard to tell because it really depends on how creative I’m feeling that day! Whoever finds the most correct movie allusions at the end of the week will win…..something. Something great and something from Columbia that I will be purchasing myself; I’ll figure out what I want to get once I see who the winner is! {Essentially, I’ll stalk your blog/Twitter/IG account and try to find something I think you’ll like}

Sound good? Then see you tomorrow for the OmniGames: Making of a Movie!

Rules: If there is a tie, points will go to whoever listed the correct answer first in the comments. Also, people who make fun of my taste in movies are automatically disqualified….pretty sure I can do that, right?! Oh yeah– and no Google. Nobody likes a cheater.
