When Nic and I first started Dendrite Studios we envisioned a long steady and growing career of making adventure visual art under the Dendrite banner. It has not been an easy road, but new work continues to trickle in and our previous efforts continue to accumulate accolades. Parallels was recently featured on the vimeo homepage [...]
Watch Here: Occupy Mountains: Maxim Arsenault 2011 Segment Maxim Arsenault is one rad dude. Maximus is his nickname. Filled with stoke and always, without fail, picking the biggest airs and lines when we pull up to a new zone. His enthusiasm is infectious. Every skier loves the sport and the mountains, but Maxim’s love of skiing [...]
Nic and I were skiers before we were film makers. We have since merged our passion for art and the mountains into one, but before that happened we dreamed as kids that one day heliskiing would be in our future. As I grew older heliskiing seemed so far off and so close at the same [...]

Produced in its entirety in 7 days by 2 people, Parallels is now out for the world to see. Parallels is a short film that explores parallel moments that we experience when we play in the mountains. Whether you are skiing or snowboarding, lift, sled, or foot access, we all seek the mountains and the [...]

This event allows 6 invited teams to shoot and produce a ski and snowboard film in 7 days. The requirements we [...]
I am very happy to finally be able to release this video. This project culminates my feelings towards winter living in the Coast Mountains, and living by the ocean. Two and a half years ago I made the move to the Sunshine Coast. This move has taken my mindset, spun it around and has changed [...]
So, finally some time for an update. This month has been crazy, fun, but crazy. I’ve managed to shoot many things I’ve thought up in the past, and seeing those ideas take animated form is pretty rad. For the past month I have been working on a multimedia show for the Kootenay ColdSmoke Powder Fest [...]
Years before Dendrite Studios was even an idea, co-founder, Nic, produced a short film with some buddies for the Telus Ski and Snowboard Festival filmmaker showdown. Shot and edited in 72 hours in 2007, the film titled Creeking was shown on the big screen in front of thousands. Entering the contest with the idea of [...]
Hi everyone, We have been busy. Recovering from a sleepless year of making, releasing, and promoting this little film we made titled “Out of the Shadows.” It’s funny, once the film is shot, edited, color corrected, sound mixed, too many other tasks to count, and the final stamp of approval is given, the work has [...]

Wow, IF3 was an experience for sure. Athan and I traveled to Montreal for IF3 and expected to get our show to a larger and a more jib/jump/park oriented crowd, but not much beyond that. During the final evening of the festival, the Newschoolers Awards were given out. We were extremely stoked [...]
