THE AESTIVATION PROJECT:
So.... It all started when Headbud Productions were just about to finish their movie Prelude. We had all gathered into the beautiful Karwendel to do the intro-shooting for that movie. The weather was prefect and we had two super fun days. In the evening we where talking about the future, and what kind of movie we wanted to do next. Sure there had to be snow in it! Sure there has to be skiing in it! But that was not the problem. We are skiers and snow will come as soon as winter joins us.

Our major problem was that we didn’t have any cinematographers or camera equipment. Till that moment all our movies were rider filmed and rider edited.

One day, in the evening after we had been shooting for the intro, Nico started telling us about his two friends Max and Mo Garhammer from Broken Radio Films. We knew about these two guys and we knew that they have been making skimovies for some years now. Nico knows them very well and was always a main character in their movies, and he told us that they want do a bigger european movie next year too...

So, we needed cinematographers and cameras, and they needed riders to shoot with. One hand washes the other!

About a month later, Nico Zacek, Christoph „Taylor“ Thaler, Fabi Hyden and Mo Garhammer met up at Nico’s place in Innsbruck, to talk about if and how we could cooperate during the upcoming season. Mo already worked out a concept for a movie called Aestivation. The more he was telling us about this project the more we where stoked about it!

Finally everyone was down with the Aestivation movie project, and we started filming for the movie.

Even though the 07/08 season has been one of the worst for years now, due to many injured riders and very bad snow conditions in the alps, we finally did it!

The Aestivation movie is finished and everyone can enjoy it now. I think with this movie we made a big step forward in the history of European Ski Movies. Now we can be compared with the biggest names in business. But thats not all. We also did the Aestivation B-Movie, which shows our riders at events and trips in theme parts. So we did two cool movies in one year, which shows, that the cooperation of these two productions turned out very well. In another meeting in the summer of 2008 we decided to keep working together for the future years too, and keep the name from our first cooperation.

Now, all future movie projects of Headbud Productions and Broken Radio Films will run under the name AESTIVATION.

We have a lot of plans for the upcoming seasons and hope that you guys stay with us, support us and our sport as much as you can!
