An interview with the creators of the Oscar-winning documentary, Free Solo.
Enthusiastically embraced by critics and audiences alike, Free Solo won Best Documentary Feature against five other full-length documentaries nominated for an Oscar this year.The film starts as an intimate, unflinching portrait of what makes the singular Alex Honnold tick and ends as a nail-biter, a suspenseful, ultimately thrilling account.
When non-fiction filmmakers Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin decided to profile their friend and professional rock climber Alex Honnold, they didn’t grasp the enormity of the danger the ace mountaineer would assume. Nor did they appreciate the full degree of the personal, professional, and ethical risks they, too, were about to take.
