BOARD SHOP || Short Film

Hundreds of Skateboards, Snowboards, and Surfboards are choreographed at 24 boards per second into an ebullient montage of flickering imagery, illustrating the history, artistic beauty, and physical consequences of board culture.

Director Patrick Smith created this short film as an homage to his favorite activity and culture.

“BOARD SHOP” Juxtaposes hundreds of vintage, classic, and contemporary designs and styles into a trance inducing maelstrom of 24 boards per second imagery. 

Along for the ride are objects that signify the consequential elements of board culture, namely, broken bones, crutches, and spinal gurneys.. Each object is a historical part of this vibrant world-wide cultural phenomena.

Over the course of one year, Smith collected thousands of photos, images, and objects, compositing them together sequentially and choreographed to beach percussion. 

The result is a cacophony of illustrations, graphics, shapes and sizes. 

Each board represents themselves within the trifecta of distinct terrain: Concrete, Water, and Snow.

Dedicated to all those riders out there, young and old. Healthy and injured. Once in place, the board culture never leaves our DNA, and the tools are forever a part of our collective memory and cultural experience.

BOOKSTORES || How to Read More Books in the Golden Age of Content

"Bookstores have always driven me crazy. So much to read and so little time! And now with our lives chock full of content--Netlflix, podcasts, social media, and the 24 hour news cycle--when the hell are we supposed to find the time to get through a book? This dilemma has haunted me for awhile. So I decided to make a film about it, hoping to find a way through my bookstore anxiety--a way to re-balance my content diet in order to read more books. Making this film brought me to a place of clarity. I hope it does the same for you." - Max Joseph

Enjoy.

The North Face Presents || Lhotse

It’s not always what we achieve that defines us, rather it is why we achieve such things that creates clarity in our existence.

In 2018, Hilaree Nelson and Jim Morrison completed the first ski descent of the 27,940-foot Lhotse, the fourth-highest mountain in the world.

This is their story.

Maple Syrup || High Tides (Full Album)

Imagine yourself drifting on a raft in the open sea. 

You’re embarking upon a great adventure: you’ll spend some peaceful and quiet time enjoying light breeze and hot sun. 

You’re gonna visit lots of places.

And, you’ll have to spend a night fighting the storm and believe your raft is strong enough to survive until the morning.

And, yes. This “sea” is our life. It’s not always perfect and we sometimes have to be brave and look in the eye to our problems.

But in the end, the stuff that’s happening doesn’t matter: if you’re not afraid to stand up to the storms, you’ll see a beautiful sunset at last.

Stormscapes 4 || Timelapse Short Film

"For a few months out of every year, the northern high plains bear witness to some of the most incredible and beautiful severe weather events on the planet. Rotating and rolling monsters composed of moisture and heat, sculpted into towering behemoths by wind and terrain. I do hope that this timelapse short film does these terrifically terrifying beasts of the sky justice. Keep in mind that everything about this video is over the top. It's bombastic, slow, fast, then slow, then fast, has cows mooing somewhere, is weirdly edited and paced, and overall a little bonkers. But these storms are bonkers. Especially the nocturnal ones." - Nicolaus Wegner
