    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.

  • Abstract

    A Freeski Exhibition

    Release date: Fall 2023

    Produced by: The Faction Collective, Red Bull Media House

    Directed by: Etienne Mérel

    Skiers: Alex Hall, Koga Hoshino, Antti Ollila, Mac Forehand, Vasu Sojitra, Micah Evangelista, Sophia Rouches, Brooklyn Bell, Mathilde Gremaud, Sarah Hoefflin, Margaux Hackett, Giulia Tanno, Tim McChesney, Duncan Adams, Blake Wilson, Elias Syrjä, Kadi Gomis, Tormod Frostad, Matěj Švancer, Štěpán Hudeček, Gianni Biello, Dan Hanka, Dylan Deschamps

    Skiing is not art, and skiers are not artists. Unless, of course, skiing is art and skiers are artists? Faction’s fourth feature film exhibits pure creativity through a series of freeski sequences—from the vibrant streets of Japan, to the powdery pillows of British Columbia, to the finely-manicured terrain parks of Switzerland and Italy. Each location provides a blank canvas for the team’s artistic expression. Because nothing screams “artist” like sending large cliffs and grinding the side of buildings. In co-production with Red Bull Media House.

    The Faction Collective’s third feature film uncovers the foundations of freeskiing as seen by the current generation of skiers.

In co-production with Red Bull Media House.

  • THE COLLECTIVE

    Produced by: The Faction Collective, Red Bull Media House

    Directed by: Etienne Mérel

    Adventuring to undiscovered peaks together, plotting midnight-raids on inner-city handrails, lapping your home run until that last ray of sunshine disappears behind a distant ridge… Skiing is Collective. Some call it a tribe mentality, others call it a shared sense of purpose. This film is our definition, written by a diverse team, each with their own ideas, their own forms of expression. THE COLLECTIVE is more than the sum of its parts. No matter who you are or where you come from – it feels good to be part of something special.
