"Chroma"—Full Video

  |   Michael Goodwin


A couple minutes into Chroma I wasn't sure how I was going to feel about the film, but I left a big fan. Stunningly shot and directed, I feel that Chroma hits the oft-missed sweet spot in boarding between artfulness and pretentiousness. It challenges what constitutes a "snowboard film," and puts forth an experimental alternative to the "bigger, faster, higher" race of clip progression.

Cheers to the Sevi and friends, and the artful eye of the Hillton team.
