FABRIC Trailer – A Documentary Series
A first-of-its-kind documentary series chronicling a group of athletes, artists, and activists across snowboarding, surfing, and skateboarding, FABRIC is a five-part series that illustrates what’s possible when sport is leveraged as a vehicle to affect fundamental change.
Each of the five episodes is centered around a specific theme—from Knowledge and Adaptation to Activism, Cultural Heritage, and Community—and showcases a group of groundbreaking humans united by their connections to people, place, and pursuit.
The brainchild of Canadian big-mountain snowboarder, backcountry guide, and inaugural 2021 Natural Selection Tour winner Robin Van Gyn, FABRIC breaks the traditional action sports filmmaking mold with candid narratives, world-class action footage, and poignant insights into real-world issues.
The series stars nearly two dozen change-makers whose causes extend beyond themselves. In surf, this includes big wave maverick Paige Alms, and Izzi Gomez, Leah Dawson and Suay Sew Shop, Hanna Scott, Sanoa Olin, Mainei Kinimaka, and the Black female collective Textured Waves. In snow, Estelle Pensiero, Robin Van Gyn, Jessa Gilbert, Marie-France Roy, Ireland Smith, Spencer O’Brien, Sandy Ward, Leanne Pelosi; and in skate, Kristin Ebeling, Alexa Berriochoa, Rose Archie, Juliette Pelchat and Hannah Eddy.
Debuting in November 2021, FABRIC captures a level of talent and grit seldom seen in action sports and highlights the ways in which experience culminates outside individuals or athletics.
FABRIC will premiere virtually at select viewing parties across North America beginning November 10, with screenings happening on subsequent Wednesdays through January on evo.com. The series World Premiere will be held on November 20 at the Changing Tides Foundation Event Space in Encinitas, California.
