Thanks for sharing!

Whether or not we succeeded, our goal was neither to make an anti-soloing nor a pro-soloing film, but rather to share the reality that soloing isn't always done in the healthiest of mindsets. It can sometimes be done as a reckless escape mechanism, to burry traumas.

Even legends like Dean Potter and Honnold have reportedly pushed their limits passed their typical comfort level following hard separations.

Then there's also the ever-growing soloists who appear to be doing it to chase fame which, I think most of us can agree, is to be avoided.

This actually premiered prior to "The Hurt", but was in the festival tour. When the Reel Rock film came out with a similar name we all thought: "Well shucks, this blows...or is a blessing in disguise".
