CPP has been around for almost 7 years now. I’m sure a lot of you may have questions about our purpose. How we started. What our plans are for the future.
In the fall of 2004 we started filming for a project, we had no idea what we were going to call it, or how we were going to piece it together, but we were determined to make it happen. Over the coarse of a snowboard season we had a name, a logo, and a purpose. CPP went online in 2006 with the formation of a Myspace profile. Towards the end of 2007 we had our first stickers printed. In 2008 we launched our website. It was a rough start, most of the TEAM was spread around the globe at the time but we kept moving forward. 2008 was a year of first’s for Chocolate Pudding. The MIRCOFILM™ was introduced that year along with our first CPPodcast and T-Shirts. Our logo went through a slight change for the better. Our TEAM grew from 3 to 12 members. In 2009 we started a FB group which later evolved into a page in 2010.
Why start a production company? The first goal was to make a snowboard video our future kids could watch, something they could experience to let them get a taste of what we were like at their age. The idea of creating a project (an identity that would survive) was inspiring. CPP would in essence become a projection of our perspective on the world. The principles we brought with us are still in place, but our focus has shifted to making t-shirts and stickers. I want to bring clarity and specificity to our purpose without clouding the issue with useless additives. Our mission is to promote freedom and creativity much like that of a glorified artist. Our purpose is to design and manufacture products that reflect our own personalities as well as those of our supporters.
Where are we going? There are so many directions we could go as a team. CPP is a basically a palette of potential. A blank canvas. A medium of creativity. The future will always be full of uncertainty, but with an idea in place progress becomes natural.
I don’t like definitive endings to films; as a natural result I like leaving room for interpretation.
