Last winter old and new members of The Bunch came together to create a new film:color.
The majority was filmed in the streets of Russia with short trips to Sweden and Japan as well.
It should be noted thatcoloris Peybens first full film.
He produced, filmed and edited, with assistance from Alex Hackel for production and additional filming.
Instead, Peyben interweaves skiing with clips of the crew enjoying their time outside of shooting.
Overall, I wanted to show my truth of what street skiing is.
-
When filming in the streets, you have to expect the unexpected.
Hackel arrived five hours earlier than the rest of the crew to the northwestern town of Kirovsk, Russia.
Multiple paragliders were seen lackadaisical in the air.
That is, until, The table came flying over me out of nowhere, Hackel said.
Hackel has later messaged the video of the accident - it had gone somewhat viral in the Russian interwebs.
As for the Russian jail?
We were all shook and vowed to not find out what that……meant.
They proceeded to befriend the friendly Russian onlooker who then showed them around town.
The next day the police were called again.
Everyone that is, except for Magnus, who was held up by the police.
We were shortly escorted to the police station.
This was not an ordinary police station.
We were instructed to sit on the couch while 5 police officers stood behind the desk.
Our Russian friend followed with us to the station to help translate.
Their Russian friend and the police began to debate with each other.
They were no longer tense instead looked like they were having a great time, Hackel observed.
Thats when our Russian friend turned over to us and said, The neighbors are very mad at you.
The group left the jail, attempting to look as sad as possible.
Despite the hiccups, the trip to Russia was, overall, a success to film street forcolor.
Russia has Been a favorite of mine since five years back when we did our first trip to Moscow.
The northwest parts are amazing for street filming as more and more people have come to realize.
Magnus added, Russia was the greatest experience.
People dig us over there and we dig the people.
Its was a really beautiful trip with some wild friendships.
Brotherhood on the next level.
