I think most companies have caught on to this model and it seems to be working really well.
Although the company itself is no longer, the movies, edits and most importantly the attitude remains.
The different skiers and snowboarders involved with the company over the years is a long one.
As an outsider, the end of Voleurz seemed kind of sudden.
Can you take us through it?
From the beginning, the company seems like a labor of love.
How did that affect the decision to move on?
It started out of passion to create something unique with our friends.
We didnt want our vision to become controlled by money or power or anything like that.
Were all really happy with the decision, and no one was hurt.
What was your favorite part of Voleurz?
What do you miss most?
Is there anything youre glad you dont have to deal with anymore?
Very very long hours.
Do you think Voleurz left a legacy?
What do you think that legacy is?
Ill let the people decide that.
What was your favorite piece you produced?
How about your favorite edit or movie?
Our last film Kill Your Boredom was really rewarding to work on.
Was cool to see the intro come together which was something wed been planning to do for 4 years.
It seems like many companies nowadays are switching to smaller, free webisodes than paid full length movies.
Why did you choose to release your content for free rather than charge?
It was more important for us to get the films out there than to make a couple bucks.
I think most companies have caught on to this model and it seems to be working really well.
Salomon Freeski TV and the Faction edits are 2 successful examples of this.
Thanks for your time!
Thanks Matt, happy holidays everyone.
