Granite Rapids Moon

Not having any notion of what to expect, I thoroughly enjoyed the film. Yes it is a film that involves many facets of backpacking but I found the more intriguing elements had to do with the growth of the main character to face past events and the relationships with others that you tend to meet on the trail. Sometimes it's nothing more than a nod, other times it can turn into lasting friendships.

The cinematography was outstanding. Hard not to feel inspired to lace up the hiking boots and hit the Grand Canyon after watching this.

If you can, I encourage you to see the film. You'll find it's a touching story with an ending I didn't expect, wonderful cinematography and a pleasant soundtrack. Enjoy!

What an accomplishment! A true adventure with stunning cinematography and an engaging plot. While not perfect, it marks a milestone in what can be possible. This film deserves a closer look by indie aficionados! The female lead is the anchor and there are few weak links in the cast. The storytelling is suspenseful and challenging. The characters are sympathetic even in their foibles and mistakes. The specificity of what it means to hike the Grand Canyon will impress real hikers and enthusiasts alike. I wish there was a Making Of documentary to go aalong with the film. Muat have been quite and adventure in itself. Enjoy!

Such an engaging film that captivates the beauty & treachery of the Grand Canyon. The film takes you down the trail of life while hiking an actual trail in the Grand Canyon. An adventure about a lost love that needs closure and the undying strength of being in love & loved.

The cinematography captures the jaw-dropping beauty of the Grand Canyon and one man's quest to reach his destination while facing the perils of hiking in one of the natural wonders of the world. You also realize that even in the loneliest of places, one is never alone. One's memories can keep us from being alone. While watching the story unfold, it makes you realize we're always interconnected even in the most isolated places.

This is an engaging movie, the storyline unfolds throughout with dramatic twists. It involves the effort of the main character to fulfill a goal he set much earlier in his life. The drama builds as he encounters hurdles along the way, both physical and emotional. The story is set and filmed primarily in the Grand Canyon, the scenery is spectacular and expertly filmed. I've visited the canyon from the rim but this story took me places I never saw. I did not anticipate the ending, but everything fell into place. The final scene helped explain the beginning. Highly, highly recommended, an absolute gem.

Excellent cinematography! There wasn't a scene that didn't make you appreciate the Grand Canyon for all its glory and beauty. Easy to follow story line and simple but warm acting. Even more special when you know the causes that are being supported with this movie. Producer serving as main character was an added bonus. Appreciated the story line even though it wasn't evident at the beginning, it came together at multiple points through the movie. This is a great independent film with limited screenings. Characters were believable as was story line. Sometimes it's the simplest story that makes for the best movies.
