Three amateur skiers set out to ski across Colorado for the first time. They sought a historic route through the snow; they found their inspiration for making art.

In 1978, three skiers managed to ski across the state of Colorado, becoming the first to accomplish the feat. That was what they set out to achieve, and that was the story I intended to make this film about. But we both arrived at different destinations than we set out for, realizing there was a much deeper meaning to the story we were creating.
For these three skiers, in near-solitude for weeks at a time, completely immersed in the beauty of the wilderness, they emerged inspired to interpret their experience into art. For me, it was a realization that this journey was as much about internal discovery as it was external accomplishment. Their accomplishment is significant to Colorado history and to ski history. But the internal discovery is a shared experience between everyone who feels inspired by the great outdoors. I made this film to shine the spotlight on something I felt is important to my home state of Colorado. I made it for skiers, from all generations. But this film is really about that spark of inspiration we all feel when we are outside, immersed in the beauty of the wilderness.

Turner Wyatt discusses his documentary film MOVING LINE, “an unexpected story of adventure and art.”
Turner Wyatt talks about his journey in creating a documentary film that he and his brother Cameron Wyatt are producing together. The movie, MOVING LINE, documents a winter adventure taken by three men on skis 45 years ago over 6 weeks. Their purpose was to find the most direct route from Durango to Ft. Collins over the Colorado rocky mountains. Two of these men, now 85 years old, approached Turner and Cameron asking them to make a film highlighting their journey which laid much of the route for the Colorado Trail. The surprise though was how much this became an adventure of not only connection and nature, but very importantly about art. Through creative connection to the outdoors, nature becomes a canvass for landscape art. The film is trageted to be released in the spring of 2024. Click to read more…
