  • HERE & NOW

    Release date: Fall 2016

    Produced by: 4FRNT Skis

    Directed by: Austin Ramaley

    Skiers: Wiley Miller, Eric Hjorleifson, David Wise, Thayne Rich, Cam Riley

    4FRNT’s 6th team movie theme is centered on a world where nearly everyone’s heads are buried in a mobile device and friendships and interactions between humans are dwindling. People would rather live through the Internet than spend actual quality time outside with real people.

    Roadside camping in AK with Wiley Miller, Hoji checks in from a snowcave somewhere in BC, Cam Riley double kinks his way into oncoming traffic, David Wise breaks a World Record, Eirik Finseth hit ludicrous speed in Norway and Thayne Rich proves he’s the next big thing in skiing.

    A surreal future leaves the world without water and consumed by sand: the Big Empty. A group of children survives alone on the edge of the endless desert in the ruin of the now. When a young boy unearths an ancient relic hinting at the lost wonders of winter, he sets off in search of the ghosts that once called the mountains their home. This bold cinematic experience balances stunning skiing with a wild and hopeful journey into the forgotten lands of myth and magic beyond the Empty.

    Acclaimed writer/director Ben Sturgulewski joins the award-winning team at Matchstick Productions and their two decades of filmmaking expertise to deliver “RUIN AND ROSE,” an epic creative vision brought to life by the talents of the world’s top skiers. Winter landscapes across the planet contrast seamlessly with a thoroughly-crafted story of environmental apocalypse, shot entirely within the otherworldly expanses of Africa’s Skeleton Coast. Unlike anything seen before, the dreamlike setting of this film sparks the imagination of not only action sports enthusiasts, but anyone with a beating heart.

With a local tourist mentality, the simple joys are found near and far. From India, Switzerland and Japan, to British Columbia, Washington DC, and Alaska, it’s business in the front, party in the back, and no one is phoning it in.

    “With the winter season winding down, Pettit hits the slopes & skate parks in Oregon with the K2 crew.

    Back in Whistler, the pressure is on for Groovemeister to find his professional sport. Sean & Callum push him to take his skiing next level – with a backflip. Though his pro athlete dreams may not have a bright future, his culinary future does. With a successful film season in the can, the Superproof team celebrates at the opening of Groove’s new restaurant – Legs Diamond.

His ability to blend huge, jaw dropping lines with innovative new school style set Sean apart as the torch bearer for the future of big mountain skiing. Now, after a full season on the sidelines recovering from an ankle injury in Winter 2013/2014, Sean is back on track and ready to rock with what is perhaps his most prolific season ever. Not only did Sean produce the award-winning Superproof film, The Masquerade and film a part for ESPN X Games “”Real Ski” competition, he is the star of the latest Red Bull TV’s original series “”Keep Your Tips Up.””
