The Winter of 2009 will go down in history as one of the most transitional times that snowboarding has ever faced.
Unlike any winter ever before, snow conditions were either the best ever or the most dangerous of all time. Out of these dark times rises Standard Films new High Definition Film: Black Winter... a movie that showcases the unstoppable progressive nature of snowboarding and the insatiable hunger of the riders to put down segments that will stand the test of time....
Enter the Black Winter and witness the arrival of the next era of underground shreds Halldor Helgason of Iceland, Torstein Horgmo from Norway, Jason Dubois from Quebec City and Lonnie Kauk of Mammoth Lakes.. Heavyweight Andreas Wiig comes aboard this season with his strongest freestyle segment to date. Chas Guldemond, Eric Jackson and Mark Landvik all have their own stories to tell about their Black Winter experiences from life changing contest wins to heart pounding avalanches.
Starring: Torstein Horgmo, Eric Jackson, Mark Landvik, Andreas Wiig, Jason Dubois, Andrew Geeves, Ben Lynch, Chas Guldemond, Leanne Pelosi, Seb Toots, Lonnie Kauk, Xavier Delerue
Locations: Terrace, Norway, Iceland, Haines, Tahoe, Squaw Valley, Park City, Crested Butte, Montreal, Switzerland, Sierra at Tahoe
Dropping banger shred flicks on the snowboard community for nearly 20 years, Standard Films has been capturing the essence of all things snowboarding since 1991. With past seasons gems including Paradox and Aesthetica, Standard looks forward to shaking up the scene with their new film Black Winter set to release fall 09.
With a list of shreds including riders like Eric Jackson, Torstein Horgmo, Lonnie Kauk, Chas Guldemond, Andreas Wiig and Mark Landvik, Black Winter will showcase the sports progression with a unique artistic edge.
Always a supporter of timeless snowboarding since the TB days, Snowboarder Magazine is proud to offer their stamp of approval and support to Standard Films. Publisher Chris Engelsman says, We're stoked to be partnering with Standard to document the best riders in the world; their caliber of riders, film quality and pioneering new zones has raised the level of snowboarding for years
Branching out from their full-length films, Standard is entering the sixth season of production for The Standard Snowboard Show for Fuel TV. Their unique approach to documentation has raised the standards for a televised snowboard series, transcending boundaries between a winters worth of collecting footage and exposing the lifestyles of top riders.
Whether viewing the work of Standard in the form of Black Winter or The Standard Snowboard Show, Standard Films uses their acquired knowledge from their snowboarding past to continue creating innovative films in the future.
