As winter fast approaches and the ski resorts groom their slopes and perfect their spas, Sweetgrass Productions takes its newest, home-grown ski epic, SOLITAIRE, on a twenty-seven city tour to share their rebellious, awe inspiring mountaineering adventure of the South American high mountains.

SOLITAIRE is a captivating 55minute ski film composed of award-winning cinematography and heart-wrenching, deep-winter soul. It brings you on a lonely journey through a forsaken land never before visited on film; its ingenious compilation of environmentally conscious footage {no helicopters were used in the filming of this piece} reignites the viewer’s belief in the vast glory of nature and in humanity’s ability to traverse it without leaving a {carbon} footprint.

The indie-centric playlist not only enhances the film's purpose but truly exemplifies the authenticity of the adventure. Its narration is composed exclusively of quotes from The Heart of Darkness, thus allowing SOLITAIRE to truly get you into the vast desert and unruly mountains of South America.
