Our First Official Teaser Trailer.

40 hours without sleep to edit this one... hope ya likes it!

Just finished principle photography...

The Race-ist is more than my first movie, it has become an event in my life that has shown me who I truly am and defined me as a man and a leader.

I have had to dig deep to keep going every day, fought frustrations within myself at the pettiness of industry tradition...

I have come face to face with people who demand clear and concise leadership and it has made me a better human being!
I have hated them at times but have grown to love and respect them and proudly call them 'my team'.

Producing and Directing a film is like being on a battlefield!
There is so much going on simultaneously, so much expected of you and so much riding on your ability to maintain a haven of perspective that giving up or backing down are simply not an option!

No matter how well you plan your strategy, you need to keep moving, stay on your feet, keep focused... When things go wrong, they cannot be fixed, they have to be changed! If you are making a film, fear of change is garunteed suicide!

We made this thing with Rands... not dollars, not pounds... RANDS...

Our project is considered low budget.. and you feel it when you are shooting the thing! The strange thing is, 'low budget' is still enough money to buy a nice house and a very nice car...

You spend millions without effort!
It's an industry that eats money like popcorn. If you don't keep your eye on that budget, you'll be broken before you even finish filming the thing!

The financial pressure in itself is enough to crush you... still, your creativity has to stay up there! You have to keep pushing your team and just keep your eyes on the goal.

Well anyway... I'll chat some more in the future but I'll end with this:

My first movie making experience has simultaneously been the worst and best thing I have ever been through! I can't wait for the next one! :)
