Profiles of 5 top female rock climbers: Brock, Rodden, Tiffany Campbell, Stephanie Forte, Brandi Mulligan. Climbing helps Stephanie keep anorexia and bulimia under control, gave Beth a reason to drop out of college to create a unique life for herself, and helped Brandi find her husband/climbing partner. Plus, it's a lot of fun. This 58-minute documentary peeks into the lives of five women from California and Nevada who make rock climbing their vocation or their avocation. These women, who range in age from 19 to 34, are pioneers of a kind in this male-dominated sport.
In each of the five segments the women give on-camera monologues about their personal lives and their climbing--and how the two are inseparable for them. They show their stuff, each with her own style with a variety of equipment in a number of places (in California, Idyllwild's Tahquitz Rock, Yosemite's El Capitan, and Bishop's Happy Boulders; in Nevada, Red Rocks and Mecca; in Arizona, Flagstaff's Puzzle Box).
A Day in the Life is about the power these women find in meeting the challenges of their sport, and viewers get to watch some inspired climbing. Paul Dusatko's directing efforts in 'A Day In The Life' focus on uncovering parallels: the parallels between overcoming the obstacles of climbing and overcoming the obstacles of real life. 'A Day In The Life' beautifully explores this subject matter by entering the lives of 5 women climbers: Beth Rodden, Tiffany Campbell, Stephanie Forte, Roxanna Brock, and Brandi Mulligan. Each woman represents a different age, personality, and lifestyle. From the 40-hour office cubicles, to the 1,000-foot walls of Red Rocks, Nevada, the intimate details of each woman's strength becomes crystal clear. This vibrant mixture of femininity and raw determination combine in harmony to create a film that delivers hope, encouragement, and inspiration.
