FRUITION CROWDFUNDING

This is new to the snowboarding world and carries an important and healthy message especially to the younger generation: in opposition to synthetic energy drink companies that of course provide super sponsor money but do not provide much health for athletes and the sport itself - DRINK WATER provides this healthy message BUT does not provide sponsor money at all. That is why FRUITION reaches out to the crowd and ask you to do snowboarding a favour and help backing this simple message to all the kids out there: DRINK WATER!

FILM

Fruition is a film about Nicolas Müller who has been following his destiny since the age of 11.
Ever since then he has been the today`s Generation Y.  Today`s society is success driven, it`s about results and how to get them as fast as possible, but the journey is the goal. Being curious and open to what we might come across along the way. It is about encounters, friends who motivate and incite you.

Nicolas is a forerunner of a generation who takes charge of their own destination , not waiting for something to happen. They take a stand, are open minded and have an evolved sense of empathy.

STORY

Nicolas journey is very fascinating for several reasons. Since Nicolas was little he wanted become a Snowboarder. At the age of sixteen, when everyone had to decide what profession they would learn Nicolas made his decision to become a snowboarder. This was not well received in Swiss society. Deep inside he knew he would get there. At the point where Nicolas gained success, he kept listening to his intuition. His big question was: "How can I protect the things which I love so much and continue following my destiny. What does my body need, how do I nourish myself, where does my life lead to and what role does snowboarding play in it."

It`s a film that portrays a message that goes beyond snowboarding. It`s an invitation for the viewer to step back and cosider how to spend his time on this planet.

 This film is here to show, step by step, that anything is possible, big or small, when one follows something consciously and from the heart. Everyone who has followed his career knows that he is an amazing ambassador for snowboarding. This film concludes 15 years of Nicolas career and life. Unpublished works, newly orchestrated scenes, cinematic reenactments, metaphorical visual art, a taste of documentary and lots of riding in stunning locations around the world.
