Mount Shasta: A Photo-Novella

CONCEPTUAL ADVENTURES IN MOUNTAINEERING IN THE NEAR FUTURE OR PERHAPS THE RECENT PAST: Guided by failure and hopelessness, a ragtag team of mountaineers sets out on a adventure that transcends the normal bounds of storytelling. They seek nothing less than the sacred mountain that provides a physical path between Earth and Heaven. MOUNT SHASTA is a Photo-Novella. A story told not only with words, but with photographs. In the late 1990's, contemporary artist Peter Santino, set out to make to a movie inspired by a beloved book. With the help of a group of willing friends and a budget of $120, this work was published in 2001 as a streaming Macromedia Flash(R) project: MOUNT SHASTA, A Photo-Novella for the Internet. For fifteen years accessible only as a transient stream - now you can hold it in your hands!
