FILM RELEASE - Shinrin-Yoku

Dear partner,

We are very excited for the upcoming release of our first film for fall 2020, Shinrin-Yoku, which is selected for both the IF3 and High Five Film Festivals. We sent two of our talented freeski athletes, Sam Kuch and Baker Boyd, to Rusutsu Resort in Hokkaido, Japan to explore the deep powder and magical trees.

It is said that there is nothing more beneficial for the soul than spending time beneath the canopy of a living forest. The Japanese call it Shinrin-Yoku – forest bathing. The ways of indulging in this activity might even exceed the number of trees in the forest, but we really like Baker Boyd and Sam Kuch’s interpretation. Enjoy.

Please feel free to share our release schedule and all assets of the film for the launch below. We appreciate all the support.
