Rough Cut of Full Film (35 mins)

Every fall I start having dreams about snowboarding. It turns out all my friends do too. In Vermont we call this time of year stick season. For snowboarders it’s dream season.

What is Our Deal

We are Andrick and Cassidy. We are the two dudes who made this film. Although, honestly, Andrick did 90% of the work and Cassidy mostly drank coffee and spouted nonsensical ideas. We have been shredding together , coaching snowboarding, and making shred flicks for 25 years. Over the last few seasons we had thousands of boring, repetitive conversations about how we can’t find any new shred vids that get us fired up. After years of working on the concept for Dream Season, and inspiration from some mind-altering substances, Andrick launched us full-on into making this film last year. Dream Season is our way of showing the soul of snowboarding. We wanted to make people excited to go ride with their friends. We wanted to goof off at a highly professional level. We hope you like it.

We are combining the old school and new school approaches for our release. The old school piece is a series of live screenings in the places where we filmed: Vermont (Burlington at the Double E and Waitsfield at the Big Picture), Washington, Revelstoke, and Anchorage. We are partnering with local shops and local crews of riders for each of these screenings. We want to get the next generation of riders to come out with their parents and experience a rowdy shred flick screening with everybody shouting and drinking beers and having a blast. Like we used to do it.

The new school piece is a paid youtube promotion for the film. We estimate that with around $5k of sponsorship dollars to boost the film on youtube we can reach over 200k views. It helps a lot that this is such a niche film. Its the kind of shred flick that people will text to their buddies. It also helps that there haven’t been many full length films released this year.

The Film Release

We made Dream Season knowing that we wouldn’t be reaching out to sponsors until it was almost complete. We intentionally left openings in the film where we can plug in shots that highlight brand logos while maintaining the homegrown feel of the film.

Dream Season is a 30 minute soul-carve of a film. Its the kind of flick that would be impossible to make as a commercial endeavor. Our hope is to work with a small number of sponsors who dig what we are doing here, and work in their products in a way that feels true to the film.
