SNAPPYBOARDER - A snowboarding short movie from another dimension

  |   SLUSH STAFF

 

 

Snappyboarder is a short snowboarding film that reflects Zenja's journey in the sport, showcasing dedication and growth that have shaped his unique skills on the board. 

Starring Zenja Potapov, aka Snappyboarder himself, the film carries his name and personal significance. Zenja is known for his crazy board and mind bending tricks, which he calls Snappys.

Filmmaker Joonas Mattila dived deep into the roots of Snappys and perhaps found the source during the filming process. Filmed during winter 2024 at Levi Ski Resort, especially in South Park, which provided an ideal playground for Zenja to showcase his tricks.

We hope you enjoy this simple yet meaningful journey.
