Snappyboarder is a short snowboarding film that reflects Zenja's journey in the sport, showcasing dedication and growth that have shaped his unique skills on the board. This film aims to bring riding, cinematography, and sound together in a cohesive way that feels genuine and engaging.

Starring Zenja Potapov, aka Snappyboarder himself, the film carries his name and personal significance. Zenja is known for his crazy board and mind bending tricks, which he calls Snappys. Filmmaker Joonas Mattila dived deep into the roots of Snappys and perhaps found the source during the filming process.

Filmed during winter 2024 at Levi Ski Resort, especially in South Park, which provided an ideal playground for Zenja to showcase his tricks. Huge respect for the whole Park Crew keeping all the features in really good shape throughout the season!
