Cool to see the 2011 Vans Films Awards are going down again in Andorra. It's film contest where participants have 24 hours to film and edit a 3 to 4 minute short with a team of 3.

The reason why I'm a fan of this event is because it was one of the first digital channels for me to start finding Latin snowboard content. While some the films have been low budget, almost silly at times, they have been a way of finding Latin American film production companies like Bad Quality Productions and Corte Films. They've served as a visual gateway into what the Latin snowboard niche, which only continues to grow.
