Everyone has a mountain.
An ex-Army Ranger who runs a homeless shelter for addicts in Seattle tries to give them hope by leading them up one of the most treacherous mountains in North America - Mt. Rainier. Will their personal mountains be too steep to overcome?
Multi-instrumentalist composer Christopher North on his process: “In this film, we’re talking about folks that are newly sober, and in many cases, they’re talking about truly awful things that happened previously in their life. To have a doc subject talk about pain, past pain, and being overcome … and having something in the music that needs to fill in what they’re describing and a sense of their trajectory.”
Christopher North continues: “On production a note, I used EHX’s Looper, Freeze and Cathedral, live mixing loops (up / octave, reverse, etc) for pads and textures..”
