We've teamed up with The North Face to bring you a premiere with a difference, and starting at the same time as we show the film at The Climbing Works, we will release Odyssey online to stream for free for 10 days. During this time the DVD and download price of the film will be reduced.
‘Odyssey’ - Our 10th film (directed by Dom Bush) - is an epic two-week road
trip with four of the world’s best climbers tackling some of the best areas of
traditional rock climbing in the UK.
James Pearson, Hazel Findlay, Hansjörg
Auer (Austria), Caroline Ciavaldini (France) and the four man camera
team visited the Lakes, Pembrokeshire, Shropshire, Northumberland
and North Wales.
We normally take the traditional route of premiering at a film festival, followed by the release of DVDs and downloads. This time round however, we wanted to do something different, and we hope that by releasing the film in this way thousands of people will be able to enjoy it completely free of charge. We're hoping that people enjoy the film so much, that they will then purchase a copy of the film at the reduced price (available only during the 10 day period).
During this time we will also be revealing exclusive offers on other Hot Aches titles.
We are very pleased to be working with Heason Events
& The Climbing Works once again. Matt Heason from Heason Events
said: “A few years ago we held a multi-screen,
simultaneous screening of ‘Committed 2’ at the Climbing Works which was a
big success so it’s exciting to be working with Hot Aches again on pushing
the boundaries of film distribution.”
Michele Scarano,
Head of Digital & Social Media, The North Face (Europe, the Middle East and
Africa) said: "Since climbing
is in our roots, we feel that authentic content
is key to engage with the community from pro to enthusiast. We
understand that followers and fans are hungry to know more about our
athletes and their incredible feats through online platforms, as we've just seen
with our live reporting from The North Face Kalymnos Climbing
Festival."
James, Caroline, Paul
and Dom will be at the screening to give the audience a flavour of what it’s like
both on cutting edge climbs in front of and behind the camera on an epic climbing trip.
The Climbing
Works will be showing an exclusive extract from Odyssey at the interval of the
Reel Rock tour screening on Saturday October 7th.
Tickets to the premiere on the 10th November are on sale for £5 (£4
