Luke,
I think you will really like it if you have seen his films on Vimeo and liked those.

Peter,

Really enjoyed your review. Probably sold the movie for me. Ill get it soon. Too many movies that attempt to be like the Big UP productions and fall short.

Glad to hear that this movie offers a more artistic approach. I have enjoyed Keith’s short films and hope this movie will be even better!

Like Daniel already said, Between The Trees is finally available from Unclesomebody.com!

I have been waiting for this day for a long time, and can happily report that the film is all I hoped it would be, and much more…

For anyone that’s concerned about shelling out their hard earned for the work of a “semi-professional”, I can tell you that in my humble opinion, this film is far far superior to the recent offerings from the usual big players.

The story is intriguing, the shots beautifully framed (a welcome change from the point and shoot oh too often seen in climbing movies) and the final film slickly edited.

Oh and I nearly forgot about the main event – a collection of the most dismaying sends of hard boulders I have ever seen!

Tyler Landman comes across supremely well on camera, appearing modest, funny and sickeningly talented. It is immediately clear that Tyler simply loves climbing, regardless of the difficulty, grade, or any of the other aspects of our sport that often take the limelight. I really enjoyed listening to his thoughts.

I have been lucky enough to climb in Fontainebleau before, and so know how much of a beautiful and special place it is. Uncle has done a great job in capturing just what makes this place magical and I for one am more psyched then ever to go back.

Buy the film, you wont be disappointed

I’m doing well dude! Who exactly is this? If I may correct you it is ’strong like an antelope’!

Thanks for the sneak peak, Narc. But honestly, I have to agree with Lee. If Bradbury asked you to do a proper, honest critique, after mailing you an early copy, then you should have done so, or waited until you had the time to do so before posting. Giving your impressions, while definitely a well-meaning and kind-hearted effort (seriously), hurts both your credibility and those who will use your review as something to help determine whether or not they will buy this film.

Not trying to bash anyone. Keep up the otherwise very professional work!

Freany, how have you been? If you’re the Freany I’m thinking of, you used to climb at VE in Warrenville. Strong like a moose.

I’m with you sweaty. People need to calm down and stop bashing Narc for giving you guys something to read while you waste away your time at work.

Hold your tongues fools. I’m so fucking tired of people critiquing websites and the people that run them. The Narc puts tons of time and energy into this thing and to be self righteous does nothing but satisfy yourself for speaking your minds. No one cares what you think and it is unfair. Not only does he acknowledge that this was something that he did halfheartedly (just to give you ungrateful turds something to read) but he also said that he would do a full one when he gets back from his trip. It’s just stupid to even voice your whiny opinion about a someone that devotes half or more of his free time to doing this for people like you.
peace,
John Freaney

I’m with Lee on this one. Not your usual standard, Mr Narc.

@ snuff, I don’t think it followed the same story line as The Sharp End. I think Progression followed the same story line as Dosage !.

After watching Progression, I felt like I was robbed. Didn’t they just use the same story line as The Sharp End with less substance? This move looks like it might be a bit different from the norm. It might not be worth the purchase, but at least it is different.

Personally, I don’t think you should have released this ‘review’ until you had taken the time to actually watch it all. You’re usually pretty darn solid Narc, but this was just half arsed.

I would much rather see this than progression (although I have seen progression) I am so psyched for this film. I think there is alot to learn not only from the natural style Tyler has on the rock but also the maniacal devotion Keith brings to his climbing and film making. I will order the dvd and support a fellow climber. I would love to see more movies like this, featuring one area with tons and tons of problems. I think someone should make one for Joe’s. It makes getting psyched up that much easier….

Depends on what you want to see. If you want a general climbing flick with a lot of different locations and styles then you’d have to go with Progression. If you’re psyched on font (I am since I’ll be taking my first trip in February), then you should buy Between the Trees.

Also the Progression DVD is $29 and I don’t think that includes shipping. You should also recognize that $20-29 is a pretty small amount of money to pay considering the amount of work it takes to film and edit a full length climbing video.

it’s about content, and place.

If i have the choice between this and “Progression” for the same price… I mean, what’s the point of buying this ? I really wanna see it, but I think it’s too expensive for a “semi-professional” movie.
