"Signatures", Sweetgrass Productions*

(NOTE: a 10 minute short of "Signatures" was shown in 2010 and titled "Gentemstick", above is a link to a 4 minute short of the same film)

A short of the award-winning film “Signatures”,  a lovely tale of deep powder mystery and a film about expression and the art of riding on snow deep in the hardwoods of Hokkaido, Japan.   Every turn has a personality, and every personality has its own unique style.
