Next week (Mon 5th to Fri 9th of Dec) we have a major film feature going live on UKC.

Kendal Festival hit Islands: Traditional Tales of Lakeland Climbing is Dom Bush's début film, and will be going live on the site in three parts spread over the week, culminating in next week's Friday Night Video.

The film, featuring Adam Hocking, James McHaffie, Stuart Wood and others, captures hard and classic routes in the Lake District and was filmed over the last year.

Dom commented:

"The film started out as a minor project at the end of my media degree, and developed throughout the course of a year. It has been a brilliant journey and I've met some great friends who influenced the project hugely, it is their film too. I'm really grateful for the parts they all played."

Dom Bush has been producing content for the outdoor and adventure film industry for the past couple of years under the banner of Land and Sky Media. He recently won an exciting film commission through Kendal Mountain Festival to make a documentary film about Cumbria and the Lake District, which will have its première at the Kendal Mountain Festival 2012.

It's great that this is being shown as a mini series - it will be a brilliant way to view the film. I know how hard Dom worked on this project, and in reality it is the culmination of what was a great three years at university. It shows how much he has developed as a filmmaker, and I'm tremendously proud to see how far Dom has come in such a small space of time. I can remember when he came up with the idea for the film, and was interested in making it for no reason other than the love of it, so to see it featured on UKC is incredible. Thanks to UKC for supporting grass roots filmmaking indeed!
