Marking this anniversary, Mark Stewart Productions announces that its documentary <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/thelastmanonthemoon\" target=\"_blank\">THE LAST MAN ON THE MOON<\/a>, which tells Cernan\u2019s extraordinary story in his own words, will touch down in US theaters and across digital platforms on Feb. 26, 2016<\/p>\n<p>Gravitas Ventures will handle the digital and Video on Demand (VOD) release of the film on the same day it hits theaters. Additionally, two premieres will take place in Washington D.C. and Houston in the days leading up to the release of the film.\u00a0 Previously, the documentary made its US debut at the 2015 SXSW film festival.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hd628qa8mN4?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis film is the story of a boy from \u2018Any Town USA\u2019 who grew up in a family of modest means and with a seemingly impossible dream to fly,\u201d said Gene Cernan about the release.\u00a0 \u201cAs fate would have it I lived that dream, becoming a Naval Aviator, which in turn gave me the opportunity to call the moon my home. I do hope people will enjoy the film, but far more important to me is my desire to inspire the passion in the hearts and minds of future generations of young men and women to see their own impossible dreams become a reality.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Director and Co-Producer Mark Craig had this to say: \u201cIt\u2019s been a privilege to work with such a charismatic and historical figure as Gene Cernan. Many films have been made about space and going to the moon, and so I knew we would have to venture both\u00a0deeper\u00a0and\u00a0bigger\u00a0than ever before \u2013 both in human terms and as creative documentary for the big screen. I\u2019m very proud of what we&#8217;ve done with the film, and hope that audiences will be both gripped and moved by his epic story.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Executive Producer and distributor Mark Stewart added: \u201cIt\u2019s forty-three years ago that Gene Cernan stepped onto the surface of the moon \u2013 and it\u2019s tough to think of a present-day American hero who can match up to him. Gene grew up in exceptional times \u2013 and exceptional times produce exceptional men, but real life is never that simple. This film is Gene\u2019s story \u2013 and we hope that it will inspire people as much as it inspired us. We are delighted to be working with Gravitas Ventures as we reach out to audiences at home and around the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201dTHE LAST MAN ON THE MOON is a thrilling testimony of Gene Cernan\u2019s life and its immeasurable impact on the nation and those around him,\u201d said Gravitas Ventures Founder &amp; CEO Nolan Gallagher. \u201cDirector Mark Craig has delivered a riveting documentary that will enthrall the adventurer and leader within all of us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>THE LAST MAN ON THE MOON is powered by the same adrenalin, drama and raw emotions experienced by former NASA astronaut and Navy Captain Eugene \u201cGene\u201d Cernan.\u00a0 When Cernan became the last man to step off of the surface of the moon in December 1972, he left his footprints and his daughter\u2019s initials in the lunar dust. Only now is he ready to share his epic and deeply personal story of fulfillment, love and loss.\u00a0 Five years in the making, the documentary unveils a wealth of rare archival footage and takes Cernan back to the launch pad at Cape Kennedy (now NASA Kennedy Space Center), to the Arlington National Cemetery, and to his Texas ranch where he tries to find respite from a past that refuses to let him go. The film features exclusive interviews with former astronauts, such as Apollo 12 crew-members Alan Bean and Dick Gordon and Apollo 13 Commander Jim Lovell, as well as NASA Flight Director Gene Kranz and Director of Flight Operations Chris Kraft.<\/p>\n<p>THE LAST MAN ON THE MOON is directed by Mark Craig, executive produced by Mark Stewart, produced by Gareth Dodds and Patrick Mark, co-produced by Mark Craig and Sara Giles, with original music by Lorne Balfe, cinematography by Tim Cragg, and editing by David Fairhead and Dan Haythorn.\u00a0 For more information, go to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/thelastmanonthemoon\">www.facebook.com\/thelastmanonthemoon<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/lastmanonmoon\">www.twitter.com\/lastmanonmoon<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The deal for digital rights was negotiated by Dan Braun from Submarine Entertainment, and Nolan Gallagher from Gravitas Ventures.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About Mark Stewart Productions<\/strong>:\u00a0Mark Stewart Productions is a London-based film company specializing in bringing epic true stories to the big screen.
