The Weather Outside is Weather
With free reign and bold vision director Sean Lucey takes Think Thank’s motto of "progression through creativity” to all new heights in “The Weather Outside is Weather." A small close knit crew of snowboarders go from peaks to sledding hills around the world, riding what they want, how they want with no expectations other than pure snowboarding. Rad-ness and hilarity ensues. Alpental powder missions, Midwest refuse receptacle sessions, Alaskan nooks and never seen SLC hideouts are all woven together into an audio visual tapestry unlike anything else.
