LIGHTS. CAMERA. ACTION. | South Dakota native leans on personal story for breakthrough movie

On a Mountain in Maine symbolic of Andrew Kightlinger's journey through Mount Rushmore State on his way to Tinsel Town

When 12-year-old Donn Fendler found himself lost for eight days on a mountain in Maine, his unlikely survival took resilience, smarts and an ability to adapt.

Nearly nine decades later, that story is being told on silver screens across the country, and in South Dakota. Lost on a Mountain in Maine will debut in at least 16 theaters this week.

But the Sylvester Stallone-produced, coming-of-age survival film that doubles as a father-son tearjerker isn’t why it’s grabbing headlines in the Mount Rushmore State. Rather, the journey of director Andrew Kightlinger and the influence that his South Dakota roots have on the 38-year-old’s breakthrough movie is.

It’s a story that crosses oceans and deserts, and oddly enough finds its crux in South Dakota. It’s an adventure story where Kightlinger is the leading man.

South Dakota taxpayers footed the bill for nearly $100,000 in out-of-state travel for state lawmakers last year. A review of legislative travel records by The Dakota Scout this week found that more than $90,000 was expended by the Legislative Research Council in 2023 for 36 legislators to attend conventions and conferences throughout the country, and as far away as South America.
