This screening is free but an RSVP is required. Online registration does not guarantee a seat so please arrive early. This event is first come, first serve.
Kyle and Mike are best friends who share a close bond - until Mike sleeps with Kyle's fiancee. The Climb is about a tumultuous but enduring relationship between two men across many years of laughter, heartbreak, and rage. It is also the story of real-life best friends who turn their profound connection into a rich, humane, and frequently uproarious film about the boundaries (or lack thereof) in all close friendships.
