Echo Wall premiere

Rare Breed’s first DVD release, Echo Wall is premiering at the Edinburgh Mountain Film Festival on October 19th. Tickets for the premiere are selling very fast and it looks like they might only be available for another few days. So if you’d like to come along - get your ticket in now! The EMFF site has all the info you need to buy tickets.

The DVD is also released on October 19th. We are hoping to receive the DVD stock just before the EMFF premiere and have copies at the premiere, but if you want to be the first to receive a copy through the letterbox at home (wherever you are in the world), then just pre-order one from the shop. We use paypal to handle our shop transactions which accepts most credit/debit cards as well as a paypal payment itself.

If you want to find out more about the story of Echo Wall, you can find all the posts about the route and the film on Dave’s blog, and Claire’s blog. I’ve also posted the full credits here which has all the music from the soundtrack. We were very happy with our soundtrack, and each of our musicians meant a lot to us in different ways.

The late Martyn Bennett was always an inspiration, both through his tunes that got us psyched in cars and ipods on the way to mountains over the years, as well as by his lasting impression on us as a person.

Siren (aka Katy MacLeod, Dave’s sister) and DK & Solar (Katy’s partner Ronan) produced an impressive array of tracks for Echo Wall, matching the style of the footage very well, and working to a tight deadline. You can see more of their catalogue and DJ nights on their myspace sites (click their names).

We were really chuffed when Scotty from Elmo agreed to let us use If I Fall and Heaven on the film. The If I Fall running section is maybe our favourite part of the film and I’m sure you’ll agree the music certainly gets you fired up!

If you would like to purchase any copies of the DVD wholesale for your shop, just get in touch and we’ll arrange that.
