REI has signed on as the domestic sponsor for “National Parks Adventure,” a 3D film scheduled for global release on Feb. 12, 2016 to coincide with the centennial of the National Park Service next year.
The film is being presented by Expedia Inc and Subaru of America, Inc. and produced by MacGillivray
Freeman Films, in partnership with Brand USA. While the film will not reach IMAX and
giant-screen theaters until February, a trailer of the film was published Oct. 15.
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, up craggy mountain peaks and into other-worldly realms found within America’s most legendary outdoor playgrounds.
The film features mountaineer and The North Face Team Captain Conrad Anker, adventure photographer Max Lowe and artist Rachel Pohl as they hike, climb and explore their way across America’s majestic parks including Yellowstone, Glacier National Park, Yosemite, and Arches in an action-packed celebration that will inspire the adventurer in us all, and highlight how important it is that we protect these treasured landscapes.
The film has also received major support from the Giant Dome Theater Consortium. The film is directed by two-time Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Greg MacGillivray and produced by Shaun MacGillivray, written by Stephen Judson and Tim Cahill, with a musical score provided by Steve Wood.
