Background: Patrick 'Brusti' Armbruster grew up in Dietikon - a suburb outside Zurich - Switzerland. Through skateboarding he discovered snowboarding in the late 80's. ''Taking pictures and documenting was always a big passion of mine'' says Brusti. In 1994 he had his first pictures published in a Swiss Snowboard Magazine. In 1996 he became a senior photographer at Snowboarder (Monster Backside Magazine) for three years. From 1999-2002 he was senior photographer at Onboard magazine. In 1999 he started to produce one of the first European 16mm snowboard movies together with Drew Stevenson which then turned into the Absinthe Films production with Justin Hostynek. Together with Justin, Shane Charlebois and David Vladyka (as well as all the others along the way) they released a snowboard movie every year. In 2005 they produced their own reality documentary series for FUEL TV in the US - called Flipside about the making of their Absinthe Films movies. The show went on for three years.
