It's legit, I'm working on the special effects. For the scenes in the RV we are going to pump body odor into the theater with just the faintest after scent of Old E.

Wow. I'm don't know if I'd say that it's so bad, it's good. But it's bad. I hope any waiver they signed had a clause saying that the movie might be so bad that it would irreparable harm their future acting career.

Synopsis
Gripped is a feature length rock climbing survival epic that takes place on the side of a 1000ft cliff. Set high in the Sierra Nevada mountains of California, Gripped follows the story of Rose, a gym climber from Los Angeles who falls for Bret, a rugged outdoorsman who gets the two in over their heads when they embark on the famous rock climbing route called "Killer Pillar”. Bret takes a huge fall and suffers a serious head injury and torn shoulder. With no way to retreat off the cliff, Rose is forced to take the lead and finish the 1000ft of climbing to the summit. However, Rose has very little experience with high alpine traditional climbing and when night falls and they are forced to bivouac on the side of the cliff. After a freezing night on the ledge and a storm approaching, it’s “climb or die” for Rose and its gonna take everything in her power to gain the summit successfully. Only to find that getting down can be more challenging then the climb up.
edit - the cast lists Jacqueline Florine.

Makes me think of the classic line in the Eiger Sanction (may not be exact wording)

What's with the leader fall at 1:28?
The leader falls at the top of a line of bolts, yet only the top bolt is clipped with what looks like a single locking carabiner.
While I am glad to see a movie featuring climbing, it seems pretty ultra-cheesy to my sensibilities.

I also thought it was a parody trying to make fun of climbing films and I thought it was brilliantly funny. But after doing a bit of homework it looks like a real project.
I would love to continue to poke fun at it, but somebody is actually putting a lot of effort into it obviously. I hope its some young film students just learning their craft. So corny and made me laugh out loud a couple times. Especially the dialogue and the canned close ups.
"Its the real deal, its a commitment....a grade V."
"Once you commit.... there's no turning back."
Awesome.

Will there be a scene where she takes a running leap across a big gap and, with a cam in each hand, sticks the wall on the far side? That was pretty exciting in Vertical Limit, so I'm hoping there's something similar here.

May not play well in mainstream but this will shred with the Spanish overdub on Telemundo. Very "telenovella" in style. Pretty good acting and editing. Painful for real climbers to watch.
Come to think of it, there is a huge market of gym climbers that could gobble this up.

My first epic was because I didn't know how to do a multi-pitch rap :)
Stuck behind a slow party, sitting on a ledge a few pitches up Fairview Dome Regular Route for an hour, watching a wall of black storm clouds advance on us... neither of us had done a multi-pitch rappel before and weren't sure how... the only way off was up! So we climbed through torrential rain and hail, summitted with lightning striking the peaks all around us. No time for a high-5 on top, we RAN down the back side sometimes through ankle-deep rivers hoping we didn't get struck by lightning. Still makes me smile!
Another time after doing Lucky Streaks, I was looking at the steep parts of the descent route, dancing all delicately on dry ground through part of the walk-off, and wondering how we didn't die before.

I’ll ask the filmmaker if he needs any more actors or extras for the final fill-in shots.
Lots of you guys would be perfect to play the old, overweight, drunk washed up dudes that hang in the lot and talk sh¡t all day.
Craft services food just might be better than your wife’s, too. Bonus!!!

Just met the director at local boulder rock and learned of this sh#t show. He claimed to have climbed 5.11 at some point between the birth of christ and now. Didn't seem to be a super down to earth guy and looked like his main reason for being there/chatting was to pimp the damn thing.
