Sweetgrass Short: ‘Desert River’

Sweetgrass Productions, makers of that otherworldly treasure of ski filmmaking, Signatures, are currently hard at work in South America on their next feature. But, ’till that arrives, they’ve released a 5-minute short called Desert River, shot in the Chilkats near Haines, Alaska. According to Sweetgrass, the planned four-week shoot had an unexpected result: it was, “a colossal physical struggle, full of folly and impending doom mixed in with a few sweet spine descents.”

The result for us, however, is another reminder that Sweetgrass remains among the most interesting and talented grassroots filmmakers on the planet. Enjoy!
