Show us your silver lining– and make it glow.

Shot on location at the Golden Alpine Holidays Sentry Lodge, Alyeska Resort, and the Alaskan Wilderness, Afterglow is a short and surreal night ski film.

There’s illuminated deep powder, massive pillows, Alaskan spines, dark canyons, and some twistedly dank glow-in-the-dark moves and jump-offs.  It was all filmed at night with massive lights, custom made 7,600-piece LED lightsuits, and a ton of logistics, planning, and engineering to make it happen.

It’s the first ski flick shot completely in the dark, with a rainbow of colors lighting up powdery runs throughout the backcountry of Alaska and British Columbia.  See it on the largest screen you have.

Filmed as a partnership between Sweetgrass Productions, Philips TV, and the Swedish Agency Ahlstrand & Wållgren, Afterglow is two parts creativity, one part content, and a pinch of cool and spooky scenes thrown in for good measure.

Overall, it’s an incredibly unique film combining a different vision of skiing with the color and light technology of the Philips Company.
