Airborn is a film created in collaboration with NORTH Snowboards, exploring remote backcountry riding accessed only by helicopter.

For Airborn, ISO developed the concept and directed the film with an emphasis on atmosphere and physical reality. The work was shaped around real conditions, minimal intervention and natural motion, allowing snow, wind and terrain to define the visual language.

Airborn presents snowboarding at its most remote, where elevation and exposure become part of the experience itself. The project reflects a relationship between rider, machine and landscape, captured through clarity, restraint and control.

By focusing on isolation and scale, the film establishes Airborn as a quiet, considered statement on backcountry riding, defined by access, instinct and environment rather than performance.
