Cartel productions has brought to the scene a climbing video of a new breed. Fresh, provocative, and focused, Hostile Takeover is more than another box on the shelf showing professional climbers on impossibly small holds and hard climbs. This installment features bouldering, sport, and Trad from Boon, NC; Fontainbeleau, France; Joe's Valley, UT; El Potrero Chico, Mexico; and many more locations throughout the US.
The film exposes the lifestyle of the new generation of climbers -- the sublime and the sinful. From multi-pitch bolting in Mexico to desperate sloper-slapping in France, the film feeds on the energy of a group of climbers who light-heartedly reject many of modern society's expectations. This is independant post-MTV action entertainment at its finest: a striking, original montage that offers a look at the creative outlet the climber's lifestyle can provide.
Set to a soundtrack of underground hip-hop, hardcore, and trip hop, Hostile Takeover will leave you with a renewed excitement and appreciation for a sport of endless possibilities. DVD
