MIGHTY GOES WEST
Mighty Goes West is an adventure narrative story centered around the personification of a Japanese mini truck as he encounters a group of American skiers on Hokkaido and follows them home, seeking community and mountains and funny times an ocean away. He thrives in a small mountain town, where the friends turn him into a camper and chase the last ski lines of winter into the depths of summer.
