Optimistic? has won the prestigious “movie of the year” award given out by Snowboarder Magazine USA for the best snowboard film of 2007.

“Action sports titles are a vulnerable medium to piracy. The youth has always been on the forefront of technology and new trends, sharing titles is unavoidable. We don’t want to blame but rather offer an alternative solution to our digital age and make our titles legally available in the best possible quality!”
Patrick Armbruster – co-owner Absinthe Films
