Owners of small Maine ski company featured in new Warren Miller film

A small Maine ski company is going to get a lot busier after its owners were featured in the newest Warren Miller ski film that is being shown across the country.

“It’s a great honor. It’s great to be part of the film and share the beauty of Maine,” said Amalgam Skis co-owner Phil Taisey said.

“I’ve been watching Warren Miller movies since I was a kid,” co-owner Amy Taisey said.

For seven decades, millions of ski enthusiasts, such as the Taisey’s, have kicked off the ski season by watching a Warren Miller movie.

“It’s a long tradition in the industry, and there’s a ton of people within the sport that seek it out every year,” Taisey said.

"We have been fortunate to have made two movies in Maine — The Way We Get By and Beneath The Harvest Sky.” Maine is a very special state in that there are so many options for locations. Given its size, you can travel to northern Maine, southern Maine, all along the coast, and tell a number of different stories in totally unique worlds with each film having very distinctive looks. The abundance of locations combined with the incredible generosity of the people and communities, make filmmaking in Maine a pure joy. We would not be filmmakers today without the support from the people of Maine and we will be forever grateful."

"Filming in Maine was a dream, simply because of the people. We came to Maine and found enthusiasm and friendliness. People wanted to help out any way they could and were excited to be a part of something. That sort of thing doesn’t happen in Los Angeles or New York or even Georgia. It’s really beautiful for people to come together to support a large artistic project like this."

- James Khanlarian, Director, The Ghost Trap
