That's the spirit gentlemen!
This film is going to be made possible largely by folks putting in $50 - $100 and more so your generosity is appreciated.

Re: Albion
I give you my word that we will do our best to tell the entire story.
Between our day jobs and our busy family lives we have been self producing this film for over four years now. We will finish it! But at this rate it will take another 6 years!
We came to the realization last year that the footage of Tom & Royal we shot in 2012 was probably the last footage of them together.
This was the first motivator to reach out to the community for help. To do this right we need to speed things up dramatically.
As Steve Grossman can attest to. This film and Steve's book are so important!
Thanks for your donation and support Albion...
Best,
Tom

I'm in for a set of the Frostworks Sentinel Nuts if I can specify the 8" cable sling ?... they remind me of the old GPIW design. I met Tom once when he was graciously giving climbing presentations for Jack Schnurr's Eagle Scout groups in Upland? many years ago. Clean/classic looking logo too, Flatlander.

Watch as short clip and learn about our documentary of golden age climbing legend & photographer Tom Frost.
Directed by Terra Linda and COM grad Tom Seawell. Tom & his co-producer Craig Flax (a San Rafael graduate) & Jeff Wiant, editor and producer, will show a trailer and talk about the film prior to the showing of Meru. Meru star, Conrad Anker is participating in the making of the Tom Frost film.
Meru is well worth the trip alone! Hope to see you there!
Cant make it and want to support the Indiegogo campaign. Awesome! http://igg.me/at/frostdoc/x/10880133

The coolest thing about Sentinel Nuts is that Tom himself goes out to the garage and swages them up for you. The long cable version is really good for alpine climbing and saves some weight as you can easily single biner them and skip a draw.

Thanks for asking Steve Grossman!
Chris McNamara was very generous and honest with his time and advice. He seemed to love the vibe and the food at Smokestack / Magnolia brewery. Join me anytime for future summits!
Advice from Chris was that our messaging is a bit “too nice” and not direct enough. He is 100% correct.
We hate asking for money, but this film is too important to be passive.
There have been entertaining films that have been done about the Golden Age of Yosemite. We want to craft a documentary that is the complimenting bookend of what has been documented to date.
Having access to Tom Frost’s story, his photography, and legacy of friends will round out the history of the Golden Age beautifully.
We have one shot to do this right and time is critical here. We may have the last interview of Tom & Royal Robbins together that was shot in 2013. Every interview we do is historic and important.
This film is a gift to you and your community. We only have 40 days to go on the Indiegogo campaign. We need your help!
Every ripple in the pond creates interest and generates donations.
Please help by posting, sharing, and giving if you can.
