A different kind of princess story

“Once upon a time, over mountains, rivers, and dales, behind an old ski lift, in a small kingdom tucked away in the hills, lived Princess Klaudia. This story is about Klaudia Medlova, professional snowboarder lives in a small town in the middle of the mountain. And sheloves two things two things more than anything in the world. Which one you'll find out in our story.”

It all started as usual – I had the chance to shoot with Klaudia Medlová, a big name in the snowboarding world. The plan was clear: make a cool park edit, full of great tricks and jumps that Klaudia can do with her eyes closed. But during filming trick , an idea flashed through my mind that changed everything.

"Damn, this could be more than just a regular edit," I thought. "What if we take it and add some story to it?" And not just any story. Something fun, with a bit of humor and an unexpected twist.

And so the idea was born. Klaudia wasn't just a snowboarder; she was a princess, living in her kingdom filled with animals. Her biggest dream was to spend her days snowboarding, but as a princess, she had other duties – taking care of her kingdom and its inhabitants.

We started to create scenes where Klaudia overcame various challenges. Each scene was shot with lightness and humor, with Klaudia remaining the fearless heroine who always found time for her passion – snowboarding.

The final edit was something completely different than what we originally aimed to achieve. It wasn't just another snowboarding edit; it was a story about a princess who loves snowboarding above all and who has to balance her duties as a ruler while following her heart. It was a mix of adventure, humor, and of course, amazing snowboarding tricks that gave the whole story authenticity.

When we released the edit, the reactions were amazing. People loved the combination of story and action, and they fell in love with Klaudia not just as a snowboarder, but as a princess who isn't afraid to pursue her dreams.
