Sweetgrass FilmsSignatures
At the heart of this lovely tale of deep powder mystery: the seasons. In Japan there is a cultural connection to the different Signatures of our terrestrial home-- a sense that the rhythm of fall, winter, spring, summer influences the rhythm of the person, their energy, their style, and the lines they choose. Niseko local photographer Yoichi Watanabe explains, "As a photographer, the change in season brings a change of subject. I have to be ahead of this change in nature, like I have to be thinking about flowers before they actually bloom in order to capture what really goes on. I can say the same about the snow as well."

David L. BrownGoing the Distance
Going the Distance features the moving stories of several survivors of TBI, including Bob Woodruff, extreme athletes, a victim of a road rage beating, a survivor of a car crash and Iraq war veterans. The Lake Tahoe paddle footage is interwoven with TBI survivor stories, including their recovery and rehabilitation. The challenge and uncertainty faced by the paddlers is described by physician, Robb Gaffney, as a metaphor for some of the challenges and uncertainties facing TBI survivors. Less than half of the Lake Tahoe paddle participants had ever been on a stand-up paddleboard prior to setting out for what would be a 7-hour, 22-mile marathon event. But unlike the athletes that day on Lake Tahoe, TBI victims will face struggles and uncertainty each and every day—most likely for the rest of their lives. This documentary explores these struggles in the face of what many experts are calling a “TBI crisis” created by the “signature injury” of the Iraq war. Estimates suggest that up to 300,000 Iraq war veteransare afflicted by TBI, with many such injuries going undiagnosed.
