Can you only buy tickets in $ from the US website, all the links on the .co.uk site link back to the US pages? 

Yep - the films are being hosted by Sender films (the Reel Rock filmmakers) so payments are only able to be made in $ US.  

We're hoping that we may be able to do some theatre shows in the UK in 2021 but that all depends on how the pandemic situation evolves.

Some great films, black ice especially is brilliant. Conrad’s Donald Trump impression is pretty good too

I was a little concerned it might end up a bit too 'woke' but it was filmed, edited and presented in a fantastic way. Very moving as well... Have still got to watch Kauk's final part but so far Black Ice was the best of the set.

Yeah I had similar worries. I enjoyed the Deep Roots film way more than I thought I would, really interesting.

Possibly the best reel rock selection for a while IMHO. All good films but I particularly liked black ice, well made, fun and thought provoking. I also absolutely loved (spoiler alert) the way they showed Lonnie Kauk pause before finishing the route, captured that weird wonderful but a bit sad feeling of finishing a project.

Likewise - again it had the potential to be dreadful but ended up really moving. I got the impression Ron is/was a bit of a dick (rightly or wrongly) although he could just be an awkward bugger

Did anyone else feel that First Ascent, Last Ascent was a bit flat and out of touch?

The others were all cracking, and Black Ice was particularly well put together and poignant.

Not for me. I really enjoyed it. The shots of the camper crawling across the steppe was like something out of a pixar film. I think it just doesnt follow the standard format of climber finds hard route, struggles, tries again, tries, succeeds, comments about how it was never about the grade/difficulty but the journey. Both the film about the french climber on action direct and Lonnie Kauk both followed this format to the letter. I thought first ascent last ascent did a good job of capturing the battles of new routing; it's a lot of crawling through brambles to find short chossy routes

If you missed it first time around, Reel Rock 15 is now available to stream until 3 January! Once you buy a ticket you can watch (and re-watch) the whole line-up at any point for 72hrs. For info, head to https://www.reelrock.co.uk/tickets
