Freeriding as an art. Beautiful mountains, a small group of powder addicts, a cameraman, a musician, 30 minutes of smooth entertainment. That's how you could summarize the US film Hand Cut. No big show, no superlatives, no big moves, no helis. Just a couple of madmen from British Columbia indulging in powder addiction in their home mountains. In addition to small tuition units in pioneering railroad feats, this is what characterizes Sweetgrass Production's first film. With a specially composed soundtrack by musician John Alex Mason (Colorado Springs/Denver) in relaxed US country blues, Hand Cut offers a real change of pace from the ski porn industry.
The action shown remains at a very realistic level, which you can also see live somewhere. The presentation, on the other hand, is worth seeing and enchants the viewer with a unique harmony of sound and image. You'll have to decide for yourself whether this 30-minute abduction into the depths of British Columbia and "earn-your-turn philosophy" is worth the rather cumbersome order via PayPal from the USA.
