The Dark Wizard

Directed by Peter Mortimer and Nick Rosen, this four-part documentary series is an up-close and unflinching look at the jaw-dropping feats and personal turmoil that defined the life of climber, BASE jumper, and highline walker Dean Potter. Grappling with inner demons from an early age, Dean found refuge in climbing, transforming Yosemite National Park into the arena for his singular vision as he relentlessly pushed the limits of possibility. Drawing from decades of archival footage, Dean’s personal journals, and intimate interviews with those who knew him best, The Dark Wizard chronicles the triumphs, tragedies, rivalries, romances, and near‑death moments that shaped a brilliant yet tormented artist and athlete whose imagination and audacity redefined what the body and mind could do.
