National Geographic Channel Takes 'chasing Ice'

The National Geographic Channel has acquired the TV rights to “Chasing Ice” and says a theatrical partner will follow shortly. Jeff Orlowski’s U.S. Documentary Competition doc has been getting high marks for its beautiful cinematography, which is only equaled by the work of its subject, photographer James Balog. The film follows Balog who, after going out on an assignment to take photographs of climate change, discovers a much larger project that reaches epic proportions. The deal was negotiated by Submarine and Pryor Cashman.
