Press Release:
Hybrid Sessions and Mustachio Film, 12% More Shred: Hand Plants, Hot Chicks, & Huge Airs, drops today.
After months of intense anticipation from the entire snowboard community, and disparaging rumors of yet another drop date push back, Hybrid Sessions Films proudly announced yesterday that their collaboration film with TheMustachio.com was finally ready to be unveiled. Finally, yes... But is the world ready?
We caught up with Hybrid Sessions Films founder Zac Bryson and he gave us a little insight into what went down behind the scenes.
Gnar Shred: How does it feel to finally be done and have this long awaited film out there for the world to see?
Zac: I just can't believe it's finally done. (Big smile) I mean we wrapped filming on this project just under 2 months ago and we've been in the editing room basically 24/7 ever since cutting this baby together. It's a huge weight off my back. And now I can finally get paid, holla!!
GS: I heard you had quite a bit of it done but then scrapped it?
Zac: Yeah we were about a quarter way through the editing process when I had this brilliant, very ambitious idea to do a big stop-motion animation sequence for the intro. I've always really been into cartoons and shit, like the old Looney Tunes, and I thought it would be a rad idea. I knew it push back the release a little, but that shit took so long to do. I'm talking hours upon hours of shooting for a 2:52 intro. That really fisted us. Shits dope though...
GS: This has been billed as potentially the most groundbreaking, progressive snowboard film to date. What are your thoughts on that?
Zac: Let me put it to you this way.... Imagine if, in 1964 when Beatlemania was sweeping the nation and every dude had this brutal looking hair cut, Slayer somehow managed to travel back through time and musically assault the masses with Raining Blood. People would've gone ape shit. It would have blown their very perception of reality to pieces.... That's what we've done here.
GS: Let's talk about the riders for a second. What did each one bring to the table?
Zac: That's a great question. We had a great crew of riders who were out there risking it all for this film. These dudes are fucking insane. I have a couple decent shots but I was doing most of the filming so we don't need to talk about me.
The star of the film is hands down Jasper VonGoggletan. He was boosting massive airs out of the QP all day as well as providing comic relief, the inspiration for the title and introducing the world to the Euro Carve! phenomina. His Red Airblaster pants really gave him that extra bit of steez to front board everything and really carry this film. How is every major company not all over this guy??
David McStachio is one the most stylish riders I've ever seen. He has an incredible arsenal of tricks to draw from and he makes snowboarding look like any chump could do it. He was on point the entire time and had a couple super rad bangers. 50 back 3 off the flat rail? Yeah, he's better than you.
Pole Jam Sam, aka, hand plant master. Hand plants are hard, ok. But not for Sam. He was getting down on the pole jam all day, throwing methods off the up box, doing super sonic 5-0s on the corrugated pipe... fucking killing it. Plus he has an epic Mu-Stache!
The crew was unreal to film with, one of the best times I've ever had for sure.
GS: Any last words before people watch the film?
Zac: Yes. All other snow film companies should just stop making films. They wont ever be able to top this. Dig it.
Oh, one more thing... There is a pretty bad misspelling of a word in the film, and I'm very embarrassed. If anyone spots it, leave a comment and you'll win a prize.

I've watched this about 100 times now and I'm sick of it. So now you watch. Let it load for a minute and turn up the volume!
