Post Description

The Think Thank Special Projects crew was born of decades of snowboarding, snowboard video production, the inherent restrictions found within the “shred flick for profit” model and a long-standing desire to bring an uncompromising artistic message to their movies. The first Special Project release, Right Turn Left Turn, seeks out a space in which to express their love affair with snowboarding, the snowboard video and artistic expression for its own sake. Director Jesse Burtner’s long-standing conversation with snowboarding as a lifestyle and art form has found its purest form to date in this project. A white world is entered, a metaphysical space entirely of the snowboard industry yet somehow unaffected by it. An artistic expression about snowboarding that is not a commodity on the exposure markets but rather a painting on a wall that is meant to be viewed, discussed, liked and or disliked. With humor, the artful lenses of Ross Philips and Christina Burtner, a syncopated pace of DIY action, music and locations Right Turn Left Turn puts the viewer in the video, in the crew and in a frame of mind to enjoy whatever time they get on hill.
