Journal Presents BLOOM - a short film by Lionel Moerch

Snowboarrding is so fun, and for that it can also be risky at times, espescially when you're in the streets trying to stack clips. This project took it close to the edge for one rider, but the show wasn't over. 

"Our homie Maveric almost died because of a terrible & traumatic slam on his head while filming for this project.
The movie talks about the ups and downs we've been through after that...
Fortunately after 3 months at the hospital and serious brain troubles, Mav was finally back with his big smile, bringing all of us up. He directly talked about finishing our project. A winter later, we brought out the cameras again, went to Finland and closed that chapter finally.
Like flowers, we bloom again."
