Gramicci is sponsoring the feature length documentary film The Last Wild Mountain: Portrait of the American Climber.  The company will donate signature organic hemp “Camu Tees” to support the production, promotion and distribution of the film. The T-shirts will showcase custom art by the producers and artists working on the film and be sold at film locations and online. All proceeds will directly benefit the film’s production company. The film production company has Non-Profit 501c3 status via IFP (Independent Filmmaker Project).

The Last Wild Mountain follows the parallel stories of the first two generations of rock climbers in America, ranging from the Vulgarians to the Stonemasters and everyone in between.  Interviews, photographs, writings, and archival footage are all woven together. The mission of this film is to preserve an important part of American history while inspiring future generations of climbers. The film and full copies of collected interviews will be housed at the American Alpine Club Library.

Director of the film Oakley Anderson-Moore grew up on climbing lore. Her father was a full-time climber for thirteen years beginning in the early 1970s. He would work the fruit harvests and then travel in the off-season to places like the Red Rocks, Yosemite, and the Cascades. Raised hearing her father's stories, Oakley decided to lead a ragtag crew across the States in search of these mythic tales and to find out what they mean to us today.

The film will debut on the summer 2010 film festival circuit before its national distribution and direct online DVD sales. The t-shirts, screen-printed by hand, are available at http://www.lastwildmountain.bigcartel.com.
