Climbing in Productions and Performances

Had some pretty cool film-related gigs lately that have involved some climbing, climbing consulting, and outdoor rope rigging for climbing scenes. The main one is for a feature film currently in production called Posthuman. You can also check out their Facebook page.

Also this week there was a production crew at Rocktown working on a project for the Oklahoma Tourism department.  Along with some footage they took of some guy model trying to climb the front of the building they also taped me climbing "Xodus," which is kind of cool. 

My continuing work with the NBA OKC Thunder for the past 4 years as the chief performance rigger and belayer for their mascot Rumble has been pretty exciting. To step outside the normal bounds of climbing and applying my skills in a new manner has been worthwhile.

All this recent stuff with other projects has got me anxious to get moving on some production work of my own. Of course I still have the Oklahoma Climbing Documentary project on the radar - it's been pushed back for personal and family-related reasons.

In addition, I have begun writing a couple of shorts and even - dare I say it - another feature screenplay. (Holy crap.) At this time I don't want to say anything more than that - I can't even mention the name for fear I'll have something else to own up to.
