    ACTUAL AIR

    5 MIN RELEASED: 2023


    In the depths of the Pacific Northwest, Faction athlete Micah Evangelista reflects on his life growing up in the shadow of Mt. Baker. Amongst many ski films including an analog aesthetic in their style briefs, we think this edit is one of the best at pulling off an authentic sequence of whimsical memories, in 16mm wonder. A love letter to the deep tree-lined pitches of the PNW.
