SPOTLIGHT
FOR THE JUNEAU EMPIRE
In the opening segment of Absinthe Films' latest movie, "Ready," the logos of snowboard companies appear as graffiti on concrete walls as snowboarders do tricks over them, while banjo music by Bert Jansch plays in the background. Banjo music is unusual for a snowboard movie, but not unusual for filmmaker Justin Hostynek, who has always pushed up against the cutting edge of snowboard filmmaking.
