Dawn Wall Premier

So Dawn Wall is having a premier in my hood, but it looks like they’re only selling tix for a single showing.  Can I expect more showings later, or is this the deal with niche films these days?  I realize this is gumby stuff, just never go to movies...

One time deal in theaters 

It’s getting a week run at my local theatre.

Hey there, this is Zac from Sender Films. We made the movie.

It'll screen all over the US on Sept 19. For now it's a one night only deal. Tickets here https://www.fathomevents.com/events/the-dawn-wall

Concurrently, it's playing a weeklong run at theaters in NY + LA beginning Sept 14

Later on, theaters may pick it up. But if you want to see it theaters go now!

Thanks Zac, and cheers... looking forward to seeing it!!

Just looked and my area is totally sold out. Typical for Colorado. A One night showing only? Honestly, that fuckin sucks.

Just bought tickets.  The one climbing-related advantage of living in shitty areas with minimal climbing is the ability to readily attend climbing movie premieres.

You would have thought that they would have figured it out in Denver... I mean TGR's new ski film has multiple nights of shows, I think 5 shows at the Oriental alone. 

Meru ran for a while at an independent theater here.  

I assume they are doing the one-day theater release to become eligible for awards like the Oscars. I assume they plan on releasing the film through other venues (eg the internet) to make $.

I imagine if the per theatre average is significant for the opening week leased events, the movie will get proper distribution eventually. Or at least streaming.

Fair, nothing like the big screen though. 

Zac, If one lives too far from a venue and cannot make the theatrical release, when and how can the film be watched/rented/purchased? 2019?...

Boulder has added more concurrent showings as previous ones sold out. I'd keep an eye on theatre the next couple days to see if they add other showings.

just saw it.  super good!  very nice line walked between authenticity and mainstream accessablity.  this seems especially hard considering the somewhat  complicated and esoteric rules of big wall free climbing.  respect to sender et al.  

Spoiler alert: They send it.

Is there a plan to release behind-the-scenes footage with more of the unedited pitch by pitch climbing for the nerdiest of us? Would buy!

​Circle jerk review​​​

Wow what a great flick :()

Question for anyone else who may have just seen it - they show Kevin working some boulder routes early in the film.  I’m pretty sure one was Midnight Lightning, and another was on Grandpa Peabody.  Just curious whether I spotted those right or not...

Just watched it.
It's a shame that such a formidable movie will be in theaters just for one night. Because everyone should see it. On the big screen. 

It was really really well done. gripping. loved it

F#*king pitch 15!!… great film!!
