“You can be a badass and still cry, that’s something that we don’t always see in other climbing films… sometimes you go through stuff before you do something big. And that’s okay. It’s not this linear thing.” - @molly.mitchell⁠
⁠
We sat down to chat with Molly, star of Dropping Molly, the latest work by filmmaker and climber @cedarwright 📽️⁠
⁠
Set against a cutting-edge climbing objective, the film thrusts us abruptly into a raw journey of reflection, recovery, and redemption, as we follow rock climber Molly on her quest to climb the hardest route of her life. ⁠
⁠
She lets us watch closely as her propensity to dance with danger turns to obsession, consuming her world and leading to a life-altering injury. ⁠
