A snowboard film where no one leaves the ground.
Whether it's riding into a jump, navigating exposed faces, floating through forests or your first snowboard lesson, turning is at the heart of snowboarding.
Filmmaker Samuel McMahon brings a decade of experience behind the lens to this deep dive into snowboarding culture that examines resort riding, high mountain freeriding, Japanese flatland and - of course - powder. Lots of powder.
Left Right is in part a search for the perfect turn, but along the way it unearths dream locations and incredible characters. It shows a little of the secret sauce that goes into filming beautiful turns, and tries to get to the heart of why such a simple act keeps us coming back for more and more every winter.
Featuring Sebastien Konijnenberg, John Mhyre, Lewis Sonvico, Kaori Terabyashi, Emilien Badoux, Tiphanie Perrotin, Liam Rivera, Dave Crozier, Mathieu Crepel, Shuta Takamatsu, Shun Yamamoto & Clemmens Bergmann.
