My friends Patrik and David just got nominated for an Oscar!

Patrik has had a couple of good years behind him to say the least.

Some critics award at the Cannes film festival in 2007, Sundance appearance in 2009 and Sundance premier event in 2010 together with Spike Jonze and then today... ta da.. Academy Award nomination aka Oscar. Impressive.

The above mentioned are all low budget short films so to get that kind of recognition for a film which total budget is less than one day of shooting for a snowboard movie like First Decent is huge.

David filmed all of the above. Good thing he´s better with the camera than the pliers.




Great work guys, very proud of you.

I hope to see you in LA soon then.

Here´s the trailer:
