Wow...does anyone else have this Castle short? I am wondering if there's any more information on what this film actually is. I just watched it for the first time after winning it for $1 on Ebay and was stunned. I was expecting a straight forward skiing film, but instead it was as if everyone involved was on LSD. It's the strangest ski film I've ever seen (there's even a dog that talks in slow motion!) So if anyone has any extra info about this bizarre film please reply to this post.

As part of their ongoing effort to offer a wide variety of titles to the home movie collector, Castle often bought non-movie related subjects from "independent" film-makers. By independent I mean just about anyone who went to Castle's buyers and solicited something they filmed themselves. Not all these indy subjects were bad, but many of them were comprised of home movies that were edited, sweetened in post-production (narration and music added, etc.) and finally marketed the same way all there other titles were. Many times the boxes were more interesting than the films themselves.
