Introduction by Producer/Director Bob Carmichael: My desire to create this film stems from a career spent pioneering the process of filmmaking in the world of climbing. My first reaction to seeing the Pace/Cameron Fusion 3D system and its projected images sent chills up my back as I realized I was watching a brand new medium that would allow me, finally, to convey the sport of climbing in all its glory and grit. The new world of 3D unlocks the door, allowing the audience to feel the thrill of going over the edge of a cliff and experience the realm of the vertical world. Given my broad range of experience in documentary, commercial, and feature films, I have a unique background that will allow me to create a film that transcends the niche of adventure films and expand to the stage of worldwide general audience appeal. The Vertical 3D is a series of fascinating stories about people seeking to overcome convention, self- doubt, and achieve literally lofty goals. I believe these challenges will resonate powerfully with the challenges we are facing in our own lives and as a society. The Vertical 3D will take the viewer’s breath away by immersing them in the lives of real climbers who are challenging themselves in ways most would never consider. This movie is about exploring the limits of human potential, and as impossibly daring as their quests appear to be, these climbers are seekers who are striving to align themselves with the natural world and open themselves up to new levels of awareness. Climbing is arguably the most international of activities, and virtually every country has a segment of its population who climb, hike, and adventure, or wish they could. There exists a global fascination with these activities because they are a fusion of sport and existential human exploration. Many people suffer from acrophobia and The Vertical 3D will be an exhilarating litmus test. Full of heart-stopping suspense, it is a film that will sweep people from their seats onto edge of the abyss and will give new definition to the phrase “armchair adventure.” There is a wide demographic for this film, especially the 18-35 year old market, as many of the climbers in our film will be in that age range. Moreover, the film will be G rated and will appeal to anyone with a thirst for adventure and revelation. It promises to be great family entertainment. Because of its unique projection requirements and subject matter, this is a film that will be a theatrical necessity and, as with other 3D movies, will elicit a premium price. The Vertical 3D will provide an entirely new form of REAL action and suspense at a fraction of the cost of production of other 3D films. Given current global environmental awareness, this film seeks to forge a powerful and direct communication
