Let’s go! Off to Sweden! 🇸🇪 ❄ Enjoy this mesmerizing short film / music video creation from Sweden titled Vriden. This 4-mintue long short film features footage of a bunch of people up in Sweden having fun snow drifting in the middle of winter, all set to an entrancing Swedish song from artist Sara Parkman. It may seem like this is just another YouTube of kids goofing off and doing dangerous things (and it kind of is), but watching this you may find yourself impressed by the filmmaking and the entire stunt. Along with the whole concept, it’s beautiful the way the snow and craziness and music all come together to offer an entertaining journey into this fun night on the snowy roads of Småland, Sweden. It’s like Tokyo Drift, but Sweden Drift, a snowy version of street drifting. I’m glad they stuck that light rack on top of the car, because the way the lights bounce off the trees and snow is glorious. You might find yourself watching this video over and over…
Thanks to Reddit & YouTube for the tip on this short film. Original intro direct from the YT page: “Drift in to the Swedish frozen forests where high pressure meets low pressure. Snow, Steel and Speed in perfect symbioses. Snow drifting in Sweden has long been a tradition. Dream with us to achieve absolute nirvana.” Vriden is a short film directed by Swedish filmmaker Oskar Joakimson based in Jönköping, Sweden – you can find more of his work on his official website or follow him on IG @oskarjoakimson or on Behance here. The car is being driven by William von Linné. With cinematography by Oskar Joakimson, and set design by “Mother Nature” (ha ha). Inspired by The Bunch. Shot on closed and private roads in Småland, Sweden (on Google Maps). Featuring the song “Vreden” by musician Sara Parkman (here’s the album). For more info on the short, visit its YouTube page.
