In more ways than one, Level 1 Productions has played a crucial role in documenting freeskiing over the last two decades. From the peaks of Alaska to the streets of Minneapolis, across the pond to Switzerland and over to Japan, there are few places and faces in skiing that Level 1 has not touched. Now, in line with their repeated pattern of creative progression, we get a taste of what’s to come in the new film, “Wasteland.”
The project is Level 1’s 25th anniversary film, but don’t expect this to be a nostalgic throwback focusing on the good ole days, as they say. With eyes focused on the future, the directors behind the film are Owen Dahlberg and Andrew Mildenberger. Dahlberg has made a name for himself after compiling numerous outstanding edits and short films. Mildenberger has garnered his own outstanding reputation, putting together a large portion of the projects produced by the iconic Strictly crew. The two cinematic maestros have crafted what looks like a beautiful ode to freeskiing, featuring a surreal blend of locations and riders, both old and new. Be sure to catch “Wasteland” and other films on the Level 1 Freeski Film Tour this fall.
