Cowtown Classic Champion!

Last Saturday the team behind Rock Paper Scissors: a geek tragedy took over the Plaza Theatre in Calgary for an encore screening of the award winning documentary film and brought the spirit of RPS competition to town with the inaugural Cowtown Classic Pro-Am Championships.

After enjoying the screening the audience got down to business knocking back countless Steamwhistle beers and putting their best fist forward. The final of the fiercely contested event came down to one throw, with a textbook scissors finally launching local player Mike Peters into the annals of RPS history. Peters was crowned Calgary’s first official RPS champion, taking home the coveted trophy and the admiration of everyone in the theatre.

“This is the greatest day of my life,” said Peters, after hoisting the trophy above his head and waving to the crowd who had stayed to watch the action unfold.

On hand to officiate the event was Douglas Walker, Managing Director of the World RPS Society and one of the main subjects of McKeown’s documentary. When asked about the event, Douglas suggested that he had never seen “such natural talent” at an inaugural RPS tournament.

Get ready for 2009!

God dag Norway!

Excuse our poor Norwegian as we prep for our first screening outside North America. We are very excited to be invited to screen the film at the forthcoming Norwegian RPS Championships in Skien. The champs are set for September 20th with the screening to come before at the players reception on the 19th. If you have good Norwegian skills you can read all about the champs and the screening here and you can join the facebook event here.

The screening is a free event but in true independent filmmaking traditions we are also using the screening as a fund raising event to help raise money towards completing post production on the film in order to ready the film for distribution.
