Stream Gone Tomorrow - The Story of Kentucky Ice Climbing Film
Looking for a winter themed film shot in Kentucky? Gone Tomorrow - The Story of Kentucky Ice Climbing is now streaming on Vimeo!
Heath Rowland, owner of Ground Up - is a former coal miner, electrician, and construction worker who was wilder than a coon (his own words) that channeled this energy into becoming an Appalachianer (trad, ice, and rock climber who explores the remote areas of the Appalachian region) in his late 20s. Mike Wilkinson of Wilkinson Visual is a prince among peasants - a cinematographer, climber, photographer, and a gentleman of few words, but who packs a punch with the awe-inspiring images he produces. Like a Megazord ( Power Rangers reference) they linked up to push ice climbing in Kentucky (a state not synonymous with the sport) to the forefront with the documentary, Gone Tomorrow - The story of Kentucky Ice Climbing. The film was produced and shot by Mike over a period of three years, thus far it has been screened and accepted to several festivals including: Banff Mountain Film and Book Festival (CA), Wild and Scenic Film Festival, & Lookout Wild Film Festival *Winner of Best Southeastern Film Award
Bonus material: Go behind the scenes of the film through Heath and Mike’s appearance on Episode 4 of Floor Seats hosted by Gerry Seavo James, a podcast created by Gerry Seavo James, founder of #ExploreKentucky! Listen to the episode here.
