This is not a snowboard film. It's a film about a snowboarder, telling a story that goes deeper than snow. Deeper than Snow follows Jake Cornish as he returns to Nendaz, Switzerland, for the first time to face what happened when an avalanche buried him and nearly cost him his life.

Why This Film Matters: Survival is only the first chapter; living with what a near-death experience leaves behind is the harder, quieter fight. As we get more honest about trauma and the long work of processing it, this short is a moving portrait of returning to the place that broke you in order to finally move forward.
