THE DIRECTORS

King Lines is the first-ever collaboration by the two leading filmmakers in the climbing industry - Josh Lowell and Peter Mortimer. They have combined forces to make the next leap forward in climbing/adventure film.

JOSH LOWELL

Josh Lowell's New York-based company, Big UP Productions (bigUPproductions.com) has released eight climbing movies, including the most acclaimed and best-selling titles in the industry. Lowell's work has won numerous awards at international mountain film festivals and has been featured throughout the national press. He recently won a Sports Emmy Award for Outstanding Camera Work for an episode of NBC's Jeep World of Adventure Sports, which features an excerpt from King Lines.
