US Ski Team Documentary, Commissioned by Audi

Audi of America announced that it has commissioned a documentary film, Truth in Motion: The U.S. Ski Team's Road to Vancouver, which is centered around how the American athletes prepared for the 2010 Olympic Winter Games. Some of the athletes will qualify and some may not and the film will detail the triumphs and struggles of all those involved.

The documentary will air first January 30 at 8 pm EST on NBC, followed by an appearance on the USA Network on February 6 at 5pm EST. It will also run three times in primetime on the Universal Sports Network.

"Audi of America's continued sponsorship of the U.S. Ski Team has been a perfect fit from day one," said Scott Keogh, chief marketing officer, Audi of America. "This film is exemplary of our dedication to this team and the unique stories it will create, as well as a chance to chronicle the synchronous use of technology, innovation and willpower that defines both Audi and the U.S. Ski Team."

"It was awesome working on this project with Audi and the entire production crew. Brett and his team bring a really unique perspective to our sport," said Olympic Gold Medalist Skier Ted Ligety. "We're grateful for Audi's support of this project and look forward to seeing alpine ski racing in primetime outside of the Olympic Winter Games!"

The film will be directed by Brett Morgen, multiple-award winning director of such acclaimed documentaries as The Kid Stays in the Picture and On the Ropes. The film is executive produced by ten-time Emmy Award winner Rick Gentile, executive producer of three Olympic Winter Games, and MediaCom Entertainment's Adam Pincus.
