"Fire & Ice"
(NOW AVAILABLE! )

Well it's here. Fire and Ice, the much anticipated follow-up to The Mane Event, is finally here! Sable Trail Productions released the new DVD December 15, and like a new IPOD Nano, Fire and Ice is hot! It's the emotional drama of Marc's 14-day Zimbabwe safari, in which Marc seems to tussle with his PH as much as he does the Zimbabwe dangerous game.

"It's out of this world, without a doubt the finest safari DVD I have in my library, and I buy all of them," raves Stan Albrecht, a safari hunter from Alaska. Fire and Ice is the sixth Sable Trail production he has watched.

While most Sable Trail DVD's chronicle the litany of perfect (and sometimes not-so perfect) kill shots from the rifles of host Marc Watts, Fire and Ice: Zimbabwe's Perfectly Shot Dangerous Game, details an amazing safari friendship between Marc and his Zim PH, Andrew Dawson.

"The great hunt we had in Zim is still a big story. It just seemed like what happened between Andrew and I upstaged the actual bag count. I doubt if I'm the first safari client to encounter trouble with his PH, but I'm probably the first one to tell about it on video." says Marc.

The two men battle race, heritage, ego and hunting styles, in route to a Zimbabwe dream safari of a lifetime. For the exception of taking an elephant or a great lion, Marc mows down just about all of the important Zimbabwe game. His struggle with Andrew makes the hunt even more meaningful.

The DVD lasts almost three hours and is masterfully edited by Brenda Brattleaf. She is the wife of Marc's other editor, Tom Tomchak. Tom and Marc both agreed the Perfectly Shot Video line would benefit from a different editor, who'd bring a fresh creative perspective to the project. And that Brenda has done.

"It's a production masterpiece," says Phil Johnson, 37, Tampa. "The music, the narration, the editing, the storyline, it's all just woven together wonderfully. And it's all real, this really happened. It's not fiction. That's the best thing about it!"

The production format is vastly different from previous Sable Trail releases. Usually the PH is allowed a moment for commentary at the end of the video, but in Fire and Ice PH Andrew provides commentary throughout the entire video.

"I felt Andrew's commentary was essential to help explain the storyline, so people wouldn't think I just manufactured the tension. At times you see Andrew and I interacting with each other and it appears nothing is wrong, but inside it was eating us both up. It's actually a testament to his professionalism and honesty that the safari turned out as exceptional as it did," according to Marc.

Any doubts why Marc titled this safari Fire and Ice?
