ABSTRACT - FACTION COLLECTIVE
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.

FORTUNE HUNTERS - BLANK COLLECTIVE
In a world where the winter season no longer follows the rhythms it once did, expectant skiers must embark on a journey for the ultimate prize. A journey that will take them far and wide, across continents and over oceans. With some local guidance and a whole lot of grit, the Hunters of The Blank Collective won’t stop until they strike it rich and bring home the spoils.
