Freeport ski couple star in Warren Miller winter-sports hype movie

PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • December 10, 2021

Amy Taisey described seeing herself in the new Warren Miller ski film as “surreal.” Her husband, Phil Taisey, said skiing for the cameras was unnerving “but a fun challenge. They got some good footage of us,” he said. “It’s always kind of humbling to see yourself on the big screen skiing, but it was fun.” The Freeport couple star in the ski and snowboard hype movie, “Winter Starts Now,” which has been showing across Maine this week and screens at 7:30 p.m. Saturday at the State Theatre in Portland. It’s the 72nd film from Warren Miller Entertainment, the Colorado-based action-sports company founded by the ski bum-turned-filmmaker, whose movies capture the energy, athleticism and thrill of winter sports and have helped make skiing and snowboarding mainstream pursuits.
