Technology is changing and skiing is changing with it, but perhaps no one stands to gain as much as amateur filmmakers. Not very long ago, the prohibitive cost of producing physical DVDs kept most non-trustfunders out of the game. Digital viewing and ever-expanding access to cheaper HD cameras have created a market where originality, creativity, and serious hard work can get you tens of thousands of views.
All that fuzzy warm stuff being said, it’s becoming a cluttered field and the quality of am productions is far from consistent. Here are a couple trailers that have me thoroughly anticipating their full length releases. Se Vest has some non-English voiceovers, which could be extremely corny, but ignorance is bliss for me. The next trailer, Come Find Us, is very high on the list of films I want to see in the fall. However, the snowboarding doesn’t seem to be anywhere near the level of the skiing and that can make for some boring segments.
Let us know what Am film you’re most looking forward to. If I don’t hate it too badly I’ll add it to the post.
The new Party Snakes video… although it’s not skiing and idk if they have a trailer out yet

sick stuff coming out of whistler.
they are a planning a full length to come out in the fall and their perspectives series has been rad all season
@nick: Just added the “Perspectives” vid with Chris Turpin. Love that one.
what about the tall treez movie or for snowboarding the bhappy movie… check them out on vimeo
come find us looks soooo sick
@Cory: Added the Tall Treez edit, but they need to step it up with the ski footage and they need to find songs that aren’t “Kids” and aren’t based on “Kids.”
come find us is gonna be dope.
representing montana the right way wooooo!!!
@Jon dont worry about the level of snowboarding in Come Find Us. It will live up to the skiing, I promise.
Look for the “what’s in the fridge” trailer by jah raven creations. super dope ski/snowboarding.
@Dalton: I was on the fence bc it has so many pros in it, but you pushed it over the edge.
am is the new pro…
and flow is the new am.
[...] You can add this to the list of combo films that might just work that already includes “Come Find Us” and “My Alaska.” Somewhere a snowboard blogger snickers and thinks of new ways [...]
