Deeper Than Snow
Sheffield University philosophy student Ismar Badzic premiered his debut film 'White Line' at ShAFF last year so we're delighted to be able to share with you his follow-up film about snowboarder Jake Cornish as he returns to Nendaz (Switzerland) for the first time, to explore what happened when he was buried in an avalanche, which nearly cost him his life.
Ismar says: "This is not a snowboard film, this is a film about a snowboarder which tells a story that goes 'Deeper than Snow' - a delicate look at the life of one man who has shaped his life around snowboarding, despite the risks".
We loved 'White Line' for the strength of Jake's story so it's great to have another chance to get a more in-depth insight into the impact of of the avalanche on Jake's life and also to see the clear development of Ismar's talents as a director and as well as those of his cameraman George Simpson.
