The sixth annual REEL ROCK Film Tour brings you a mind-blowing, palm-sweating pump-fest of new releases from Big UP Productions, Sender Films, and more. Featuring prAna Ambassador Dean Potter and the race for the Nose speed record, a nine year old bouldering prodigy, Tommy Caldwell’s epic mission to free the Dawn Wall, Andy Lewis’ crazed slacklining and BASE jumping antics, the wildest ice climbing ever done, and a near-disastrous winter ascent of an 8,000 meter peak. Check reelrocktour.com for a show near you this fall.
Sender Films is proud to announce the long-awaited U.S. TV premiere of First Ascent: The Series.
On Thursday, Nov. 4th, The Travel Channel will beam two straight hours of the First Ascent Series into more than 95 million homes across the country, right in the middle of primetime!
The series will air in four back-to-back episodes. Click here for showtimes. There will be additional airings of all 6 episodes throughout the winter. Please check the series out on Travel Channel and push the Nielsen ratings high so we can get more climbing and adventure film on the air!
To help promote the airing, Pete and Nick of Sender will be on NBC’s Last Call with Carson Daly, late night Wednesday, November 3rd. The boys were in Los Angeles last week shooting the piece for Carson and they are optimistic that it will be a very cool mini-feature. It was fun, and a bit disarming, for us to be on the other side of the camera for a change!
Of course, we hope these airings will encourage more people to purchase the entire First Ascent Box Set at www.senderfilms.com. Its available as a beautiful 3-disc box set with inspired graphics by Barry Thompson, and also as an HD download. In both versions you get all 6 episodes and a bonus 7th episode, plus hours of bonus footage and making-of shorts, and we even throw in a free copy of the soundtrack as well for box set buyers. We’ve been receiving great feedback on the box set, with many people calling it a collector’s item they are proud to have on their living room shelf… Huge
Steph Davis has been pushing the limits of climbing for 18 years, cross discipline. She is known for her free ascents of El Capitan, for climbing hard cracks in the Moab desert, for free soloing long and committing routes, and for first ascents in South America, the Karakorum and the Arctic. Steph is also an avid BASE jumper and wingsuit pilot. She has made hundreds of jumps, including combining free soloing with BASE. Aside from climbing and jumping, Steph loves running, skate skiing, gardening, cooking and writing. She is a prolific blogger and a vocal supporter of veganism, animal welfare and simple living. Steph prefers climbing areas that are good for dogs.
We caught up with Dean while working on his next “top secret” project. Dean is also penning not one but two books. One will focus on slacklining and the other will be an autobiography of sorts. Will it translate into a movie deal? Only time will tell but we are sure Dean would do his own stunts!
