Granite Rapids Moon

A happily married father of two, shaken by a message written in a birthday card for his daughter, abruptly leaves his family for a week-long trek through the Grand Canyon. As we follow his solo hike, we see his memories of an earlier trip through the Grand Canyon with a different woman.

Shot with only the equipment that a cast and crew of eight could carry on two 41-mile hikes (one in 20-degree December and the other in 95-degree June), this family-friendly romantic drama is the first narrative feature to shoot the majority of its footage inside the rim of the Grand Canyon. The movie contains no nudity, sex, guns, violence, drugs, tobacco, or strong profanity.

Writer/Director Kenneth Cran will be in attendance for a Q&A.

Ken’s parents managed movie theaters in Cleveland, Ohio. Film school at San Diego State led to his first feature – a supernatural western shot on B&W 16mm – and then to a dozen short films and music videos. Feature #2, horror comedy The Millennium Bug, was distributed internationally. The success of that film led directly to something more personal and more ambitious – Granite Rapids Moon.
