\nIMAX Corporation (NYSE: IMAX), Nocturnal Entertainment, and LA Times Studios today announced \u201cFrontier,\u201d an all-new documentary taking audiences on an immersive journey into the authentic American West. Directed by renowned photographer Anouk Masson Krantz and based on her highly acclaimed photographic book of the same name, the film brings audiences up close into the life of modern cowboys, with extraordinary access rarely captured in a documentary before now.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cFrontier\u201d is produced by Academy Award\u00ae<\/i> winner and longtime IMAX collaborator Charles Roven and Stephanie Roven through Atlas Entertainment, alongside Dan Goodman from Academy Award\u00ae<\/i> and Emmy\u00ae<\/i> winning Believe Entertainment Group as well as producer Peter Billingsley. Akiva Nemetsky and Keaton Heinrichs are executive producing on behalf of Nocturnal and LA Times Studios.<\/p>\n
\nFilmed to take full advantage of IMAX\u2019s proprietary image and sound technology, \u201cFrontier\u201d places audiences directly alongside cowboys \u2014 on the range, in the saddle, and at camp \u2014 delivering an intimate, ground-level portrait of modern ranching life with the scale and clarity only IMAX can deliver. \u201cFrontier\u201d was filmed on location at the T4Ranch in eastern New Mexico, one of the largest privately owned ranches in the United States, and captures a working landscape where land, livestock, and livelihoods exist in a delicate balance.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cThe American West is one of the most cinematic landscapes on Earth, and only IMAX can fully capture its raw beauty and scale,\u201d said Jonathan Fischer, Chief Content Officer for IMAX. Adds \u201cFrontier\u201d producer John Turner: \u201cAs ranch life gains popularity in scripted series, what\u2019s been missing is an authentic, real-world portrayal. Anouk has earned rare trust and access to tell this story, creating a truly one-of-a-kind IMAX experience.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\u201cThe unique combination of access and scale that Anouk brings to Frontier immediately drew us to this film,\u201d said Nemetsky and Heinrichs. \u201cIt\u2019s an intimate portrait set against one of the most expansive landscapes in the country. Working alongside IMAX and Atlas has been a dream and we can\u2019t wait for audiences to experience this film on IMAX screens all around the world.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\u201cFrontier\u201d has completed principal photography and is currently in post-production. Through Krantz\u2019s deeply personal lens \u2014 shaped by years of trust and hundreds of thousands of miles spent documenting ranch life across the Americas \u2014 the film explores a single season on the T4 ranch, as it faces challenges by weather and the existential threat that the modern world represents to its way of life.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cWe share a passion for ranch life and partnering with IMAX, Nocturnal and Anouk on this project has been a truly rewarding experience,\u201d said Stephanie and Charles Roven. \u201cWe\u2019re incredibly proud of what has been captured, and we\u2019re thrilled for audiences around the world to experience this beautiful but sometimes quite dangerous landscape and the people who care for it in a way that only IMAX can make possible.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\u201cBeloved around the world for generations, the American cowboy endures as an iconic symbol of American freedom and independence.\u201d said Krantz. \u201cIt is an honor to partner with legendary Hollywood producer Chuck Roven, Nocturnal and IMAX to bring the authentic, modern-day cowboy and rancher\u2014and the breathtaking landscapes of the American West\u2014to an immersive cinematic IMAX experience for audiences worldwide.\u201d<\/p>\n
