Sweetgrass Productions is currently our favorite ski movie company, so it is with much excitement that this week’s Friday Video is the trailer for their upcoming release, “Valhalla.”
All of the Sweetgrass films are different from any sort of ski porn out there, visually and from a storytelling standpoint. Judging from this preview, “Valhalla” is no different. It certainly has a ’70s vibe to it, from the music, to the trippy effects and even random naked people. Interesting to be sure, and we have confidence that this one will be just as much of a sensory experience as their past efforts.
VALHALLA: A New Film From Sweetgrass Productions from Sweetgrass Productions on Vimeo.
Here’s what Sweetgrass has to say about “Valhalla” in their own words:
The weightlessness of youth: every breath radiates opportunity and hope; every sense thrives on the wealth of the present; every thing whispers of brilliance and awe. When you’ve seen the season’s first great snow through the eyes of a child—you’ve known true happiness. But what happened to that simple joy? Where do we find the freedom that time and wisdom stole away?
Valhalla, Sweetgrass Productions’ fourth feature film, is the tale of one man’s search to rediscover the freedom of his youth. Feeling the distant heat of it’s fire still burning in the mountains of the frozen north, he goes in search of those tending the flame—the untamed, the wild, and the outcast dwelling on the fringe.
Weaving narrative-driven style with award-winning, face-melting backcountry ski and snowboard cinematography; Valhalla is a vivid explosion of color, character, snow, and nostalgic soul.
“Valhalla” is scheduled for release Fall 2013.
