STRENGTH TO WEIGHT - World Premiere this weekend!
is at the peak of his climbing career when he is blind-sided by his father’s severe stroke. Torn between two realities, at home in San Francisco taking care of his dad and the pressure of being a professional athlete, he eventually has to break open emotionally to rise to the challenge in this masculine and vulnerable father-son story.
This weekend, “Strength to Weight” world premieres at the Telluride Mountain Film Festival and honestly, it’s hard to believe we finally get to share this film.
What started as a climbing movie about slowly turned into something much bigger and more human than we expected. Yes, the film is full of big climbing goals, wild adventures, and some of the hardest climbing Ethan has ever done, but at its heart, it’s really a story about family, love, loss, purpose, and figuring out who you are through all of it.
It’s funny, raw, messy, emotional, and deeply personal in ways we never could have planned for when we first started filming.
We’re incredibly proud of this one and very excited to finally share the film with all of you.
