Two women face down the biggest of enemies in the mountains—themselves—as they discover who they are (and who they want to be) on a rugged backcountry ski trip to southeast Utah.
OUTLIER: Trust is a perilous journey into the unknown. This film takes us into the remote mountains of southeastern Utah as much as on the deeply personal journey of self-exploration of two women traveling through them.
A film for everyone who’s felt caught in-between, this is a story of the multiplicity of our identities—and the way the land helps us uncovers each version of self.
As skier Lani Bruntz and snowboarder Dani Reyes-Acosta navigate the backcountry, they learn that mountain conditions often reflect their own lived experiences: from joy and escapism to frustration and sorrow, this is a story about people and place, identity, and community. This is a story about becoming.
