The Bunch is not a single, clearly defined crew, they dont fit the mould.
Thats not the important part Par Hagglund explained to me.
Its funny how people… every interview Ive ever done is like Who are in the bunch?
Thats missing the point, he said.
Its just: The Bunch.
Weird people attract weird people.
People we like, we hang with, and we ski with them.
Thats how we work.
The formula is simple, and it breeds a rare creativity.
Their work shapes the boundaries of freeskiings potential.
Their new movie, FINITO was released yesterday.
Tobias Sedlacek | P. Douglas Kallsbo
As the title suggests, FINITO is the Bunchs final full length movie.
The inflexibility of putting together a full feature runs in contrast to the crews spontaneity.
We just wanna fucking get out there and attempt to do something else, said Hagglund.
Before they move on, though, the Bunch has challenged the norm one last time.
The window is cropped, only showing one aspect of the whole shot.
He is suddenly tiny in front of the huge frozen landscape, just one aspect of the entire scene.

There are no labeled segments in FINITO.
None of the skiers are named when they appear, and its intentional.
Feeling is a common discussion in skiing.
LSM | P. Douglas Kallsbo
The result is a movie that doesnt feel like your average ski flick.
Being out in the shitty street with like a HVX or something, thats something anyone can do.
Although not just anyone can get lip 270 onto a quad kink rail like the Bunch can.
Magnus Graner | P. Peyben
I think what he says is true.
Watching the closing minutes of the movie was something like a celebration.
And whats more, I wanted to stand there with them and shout and clap along to the finale.
You cant fake that.
Douglas Kallsbo | P. Benedicte
So now its on to the next for the Bunch.
And theyll be hosting Creation Nation again, in Bjornrike.
FINITO marks the end of a three-year era but also signals the beginning of many new chapters of skiing.
Shoutout, said Hagglund, to the people actually reading the credits.
Cause its an important part of the movie.
