Signatures

I knew next to nothing about ‘Signatures’ when I popped it into my dvd player. I’ve kind of burned out on ski flicks, so when Sweetgrass Productions sent me an email mentioning their film and tour, I told them to send me a copy figuring I’d never hear from them again.

Surprisingly enough, they did send me a disk. Even more surprising: their film is stunning. To be honest, they had me as soon as I saw the disk’s menu screen.

This is a film made by artists who love skiing. Or maybe they’re skiers who happen to be artists. Whoever they are, they’re obsessed about filmmaking in a way that would probably put them in the funny farm if they worked a normal job. And thank god for it! What a beautiful, beautiful film. For tour dates (‘Signatures’ debuts Sept. 19 in Aspen) visit Sweetgrass Productions’ website. Don’t go expecting a typical ski film. Go instead with an open mind and an open heart. Want more than that? You can also read my Signatures Review for a little bit more info…
