Titled: Buried, it was shown last winter in limited release.
Has been in theaters for a few weeks and will migrate to other viewing platforms later this year.

Impact side of a Riblet double drive tension terminal, arrows show counterweight and haulrope...and yes that is a snocat upside-down and buried. The picture was taken after another 4' had fallen just before a second wave of searching began after the initial hasty search.
