Shot in the same stunning quality HDTV format as the ‘Star Wars’ prequels and
directed by award winning filmmaker Michael Brown of Serac Adventure Films,
Farther than the Eye Can See is an intimate look inside one of the most
successful Mount Everest expeditions ever. The film beautifully captures the
emotion, humor and drama of blind climber Erik Weihenmayer’s historic ascent
as well as four other remarkable ‘firsts’ on Mount Everest.

“Though there were questions about the wisdom of the attempt before the team
even left home the clear and definitive success of the expedition proves what
people working together, with a common vision, can accomplish,” says Brown.
“By rallying behind Erik, nineteen of twenty-one team members stood on the
top, the oldest climber ever reached the summit along with his son. And finally,
with the help of Sherpas, we were able to bring an HDTV camera along to
capture historic moments with Erik and his team on the summit.”
