The lack of hype and pretension in the Sweetgrass film, in comparison to the Redbull film, is an amazing contrast that shows the range of how film making engages us. It's like the difference between a bottle of Thunderbird and a bottle of fine Cabernet. Both will gi ve you a buzz, but the experience is still totally different, as are the motivations behind the production. Bart, thanks for bringing thus up.

While having lunch at the Gold Coast Lodge, I saw at the other end of the room, above the bar, this movie playing on the TV. I couldn't hear the sound, but the beautiful filming and editing kept me spellbound while eating my burger and even after I was done. This is an art film, and a damn good on. From what I saw it should be playing in festivals. It stood out for me across a crowded noisy room and kept my attention. Great job, guys! I was skiing at Squaw Valley this weekend.

Hokkaido is a death trap that shouldnt be traveled, and especially not skiied. :wink: and there are all the animals with rabies–

We :heart: our Hokkaido stashes. It's too expensive, way too far (getting to Tokyo is only half the trip), too difficult to travel around without knowing Japanese and, dudes, you drive on the other side of the road here. And you can't make a free turn on a red light. Obviously, waaaaaaaaay too many reasons to leave the pow pow here alone and head to Alaska instead! :tongue: spot on Benj.
