Several months ago, I was approached by Brand USA to see if I’d be interested to let my readers know about an upcoming giant screen film with the working title of “National Parks Adventure.” The film, now entitled “America Wild: National Parks Adventure”, celebrates the 100th Anniversary of the National Parks in the United States. Who doesn’t love National Parks, American or otherwise? In our increasingly urban world, National Parks remind us of the beauty and power of nature, as well as the imperative need to preserve it. I was very young when I visited Yosemite National Park in California and I can still recall how awestruck I was. So, of course, I wrote about America Wild, when it was still in production.
“Narrated by Academy Award® winner Robert Redford, National Parks Adventure takes audiences on the ultimate off-trail adventure into the nation’s awe-inspiring great outdoors and untamed wilderness. Immersive IMAX® 3D cinematography takes viewers soaring over red rock canyons, hurtling up craggy mountain peaks and into other-worldly realms found within America’s most legendary outdoor playgrounds, including Yellowstone, Glacier National Park, Yosemite, and Arches. Celebrate the 100-year anniversary of the national parks with world-class mountaineer Conrad Anker, adventure photographer Max Lowe and artist Rachel Pohl as they hike, climb and explore their way across America’s majestic parks in an action-packed expedition that will inspire the adventurer in us all.”
Whether by coincidence or as a Canada Day Gift, America Wild opens in Toronto on July 1st. I am very fortunate to be one of the guests at the Toronto premiere next Tuesday, June 28 at Toronto’s Ontario Science Centre OMNIMAX Theatre. I am also looking forward to meeting artist and adventurer Rachel Pohl, who plays an important role in the film and producer Shaun McGillivray, one of the top giant screen filmmakers in the world!
