Graner and Hackel took charge on the production side, with Bjorn Eklund leading the cinematography and final cut.
The process of title-creation proceeded filming Many Fantasies Later.
With this extra pocket money, they opted to hire a filmer.
That filmers name was Bjorn Eklund.
The film opens with a series of vistas scrolling across the screen.
Each frame links with the next, creating the illusion that youre peering across an ever-changing yet singular horizon.
Then comes the madness.
Burvall and Hackel go back and forth, eventually deciding that Graners come down with mad cow disease.
The decision to center Many Fantasies Later around one b-roll clip came months into the production process.
These concepts evolved during the production process and eventually came to revolve around Burvall and Hackels b-roll conversation.
Like, like let’s stop losing our mind guys.
Let’s get back to like doing our regularly scheduled program, he recalls saying.
On the other hand, Eklund loved the idea and teamed up with Graner to override Hackels vote.
Ultimately, when the finished product was complete, Hackel came around.
After all, most of us view ski movies for the skiing, not artistic merit.
Yet, as they did with their previous film, the Bunch pulls it off with Many Fantasies Later.
None of this is to say that the skiing in Many Fantasies Later is secondary.
And dont just take my word for it.
Receiving these awards was a special moment for the team.
Eklund was surprised and overjoyed to receive distinction for his first long-form project.
But producing a film thats genuinely differentandworth watching is no small feat.
With Many Fantasies Later, Eklund, Graner, and Hackel have met this high, high bar.
Give it a watch – you wont be disappointed.
The full Youtube release is set for Thursday, December 8th.
