Reel Rock TourWhen: 7pm September 27th, 2012 Visit Website
When:
Video: About Reel Rock: REEL ROCK shows are exciting events where climbers and outdoors lovers come together to celebrate the ultimate in adventure filmmaking. Prize giveaways, appearances by top climbers, and fundraising for non-profit organizations are just some of the ways that REEL ROCK events are more than just film screenings. For our seventh year, Sender Films and Big UP Productions are combining the biggest names in the sport with stories of pushing the limits like never before. From battling Himalayan peaks to a battle on Spanish limestone to establish the world’s first 5.15c. From the non-conformist world of offwidth climbing to the new found fame of the boundary-pushing sport of free soloing. This year’s films are nothing short of intrepid tales that will get your palms sweating from beginning to end. History: REEL ROCK founders Josh Lowell and Peter Mortimer have been producing and directing climbing and adventure films for over a decade, with devoted audiences around the world. Their work has been featured on NBC, NPR, and The New York Times, and has won a Sports Emmy Award, plus dozens of awards at international film festivals. After organizing small tours for their individual film releases, Lowell and Mortimer realized the huge demand for exciting live events in the outdoors community and combined forces to create The REEL ROCK Film Tour in 2006. In 2011, REEL ROCK screened in over 280 locations world-wide, drew over 65,000 audience members, raised over $15,000 for non-profits, partnered with more than 150 retailers, university outing clubs and climbing gyms, and won copious media coverage and critical praise. 
Philip ConnorsWhen: 7pm October 11th, 2012 Visit Website
When:
Video: Bio: Philip Connors was born in Ames, Iowa, and grew up on a farm in southern Minnesota. After seeing his family forced off the land during the farm crisis of the 1980s, he went to college and received a B.A. in print journalism from the University of Montana, graduating as print journalism was entering its own period of crisis. He worked for several years at the Wall Street Journal, mostly as an editor for the Leisure & Arts page. In 2002 he left the canyons of Manhattan for a job even more anachronistic than print journalist: wilderness fire lookout in New Mexico’s Gila National Forest, where he has spent every summer since. That experience became the subject of his first book, Fire Season: Field Notes From a Wilderness Lookout, published by Ecco in 2011. It was named the best nature book of the year by Amazon.com, and won the National Outdoor Book Award and the Sigurd Olson Nature Writing Award. He lives in Grant County, New Mexico, with his wife and their dog.
