His legacy is one of passion, storytelling, sport, and freedom.

His company, Warren Miller Entertainment (WME), now under new management, continues to produce winter sports movies that are an annual event, often serving as a pep rally for the ski season. Their 69th film is scheduled to be released in the fall of 2018. Miller, born in Hollywood, California, in 1924, took up skiing and surfing as a child.

Before long, Miller had pieced together a full-length feature and would be touring in 130 cities a year. In reference to his prolific career, Miller wanted to “tell stories and have the film to back it up.” It was a “labor of love” for Miller, whose first experience on snow was transformational. “It was total freedom but absolutely no control over it.” (Channel, 2012) In the years that followed, © Jones & Bartlett Learning, LLC © Jones & Bartlett Learning, LLC NOT FOR SALE OR DISTRIBUTION NOT FOR SALE OR (DISTRIBUTIONcontinues) 1 © Jones & Bartlett Learning, LLC.

A close friend explained, “Warren, they don’t think you make “real” movies.” To which Miller responded, “...I don’t.” (Galbraith, 2018) Doing things Warren’s way was as much about being headstrong as it was about telling the story. At a time when corporate sponsors, big budgets, and larger staff were the norm, Miller focused on small budgets, intimate relationships, and family.
