Plot Synopsis
Storyline
Winner of the Best International Feature Film Award at the London International Film Festival in 2015, Vertical is a story of love and loss and the meaning of family. Alex Hunter (Morgan Lester) returns home from college for the funeral of the mother (Chuti Tiu) from whom she had become estranged. Through the stories and memories of her mother's rock climbing friends, a group of women known as the 'Rock Chicks', Alex becomes acquainted with the woman she never knew in life, and begins to find her own links to her mother along the way. Also starring Irene Bedard, Wolfgang Bodison, Carson Aune, Marshall Bell, and Elsie Kate Fisher, the film includes breathtaking cinematography by Ignatius Fischer, utilizing the scenery of the beautiful San Jacinto mountains of Southern California. With a strong cast of known actors and new talent, Vertical leans heavily on heartfelt sentiment and great dialog to drive this award-winning ensemble piece.

I saw this film at the Idyllwild Cinema Festival in Idyllwild California on Sunday January 13. It is such a wonderful film. Full of heart and great acting. I love female driven stories, and was surprised that it was written by a man. Stephen Savage deserves huge credit for bringing this special film to light. I loved it! The lead character, Alex, was someone I related to so easily from my own experiences growing up with a single mom. And the rock climbing theme was such a wonderful way to bring the characters all together. Very unique. Perfect Chick Flick. I'm sure the film will gain a huge audience. It really is something special.
