Introducing Grace Kane and the Sport of Rock Climbing
Quick note from JM, The director:
Ladies and Gentlemen, but mostly ladies... this should make you happy. Guess what, I'm finally putting to work my degree in psychology and years of experience in filming environment. Nope, I am not taking a teaching job at the university, but with a feature documentary attacking the drug problem in the climbing community on one end, and the continuous coaching and mentoring of amazing children on the other, I figured I would produce two films instead of one, in order to offer something to everyone !
But I don't get it... why two films ?
First, because I always wanted to make people marvel at rock climbing but never met anyone in the grown-up world (patient-enough) to put all my love and ressources into such an undertaken. And then to explain our Thin-line target-audience what climbing really is about, so that people will be able to appreciate the complexity of its story and characters, instead of wondering what is actually the point of climbing...
Oh, I see, so "kids of climbing" the movie...
Is actually a short-film, yes, staring my new-found athlete and friend, Grace. A colorful story to both better introduce and understand another, to be featured in opening of the documentary, so that one can promote the other, and vise-versa.
