With 34 Nikon cameras slaved to timers in Greenland, Iceland, Alaska,  and Montana, Balog photographed 4 major glaciers between 2007-2011. Director  Jeff Orlowski not only acted as Balog\u2019s assistant, but co-filmed the largest  hunk of ice to break from a glacier \u2013 one of the doc\u2019s most impressive among  many jaw-dropping sequences and montages.<\/p>\n<p>Written by Mark Monroe (<strong>The Tillman Story<\/strong>, <strong>The  Cove<\/strong>), <strong>Chasing Ice<\/strong>\u2019s structure is tight, and Orlowski  paces the film to deliver the maximum images and info without being preachy or  over-stylized. With Balog\u2019s observations, commentary and stellar photography,  he\u2019s the film\u2019s anchor \u2013 a devoted activist whose own body is being eroded by  the extreme environments that feed his obsession to educate, and provoke.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a9 2012 Mark R.
