Cliff Walk is not just a film — it's a passion project rooted in truth, shaped by experience, and driven by a bold creative vision.
Written and directed by Joseph Rendon, an independent filmmaker with deep ties to both performance and storytelling, this film was born from a powerful moment of inspiration while walking along the real Cliff Walk in Newport, Rhode Island. It was there that the haunting beauty of the landscape collided with a true story — a tragedy that demanded to be transformed into something meaningful.
This is a story about love, loss, and the strength it takes to rebuild what was broken. It’s a story for anyone who’s ever been tested by life, and for everyone who’s had to rise again.
Joseph Rendon, creator of Spellbind and writer of Cliff Walk ultimate goal is to bring the story to international audiences by premiering at major festivals — including Cannes, Venice, and Sundance. He is currently in talks to attach an A-list actress to play the lead role of Grace, a complex and emotionally rich character that anchors the film's story.
This is a grounded, artfully told drama with the emotional power of Blue Valentine and the visual precision of Revolutionary Road. It’s a cinema built for the screen — but fueled by truth.
