A romantic comedy of errors, Christmas in the Clouds is set in a struggling tribally owned and operated ski resort. The ensemble cast featuring veteran Native actors mixes it up in a delightful concoction of mistaken identity and would-be love, seasoned with bingo basics, and treacherous mountain roads. The film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2001.
