Rather than focusing on the bleak, cynical aspects of life post-pandemic, the focus is optimistic and hopeful.
WashDup (2022)
"WashDup" is a mockumentary based on a true story of a group of ex-snowboard filmmakers and riders who refuse to quit. After a 16-year hiatus, they make a pact to create one last movie, but lack a youthful presence to make it marketable. This unlikely alliance leads to self-discovery through an ageless lens, showcasing the evolution of snowboarding from a young sport to a mature industry. The film also touches on the struggles of old pros finding their way in life after the glory days are gone.
