We just spent a week chasing The NORRA Mexican 1000 Off Road Rally. What a great time! My good friend and Producer Michael Noval asked me to partner with him as Director of Photography to film a documentary on the race. Michael was riding in the Big Blue Fiesta with BFI Racing. My Comrade in Arms, Jarvis Rolle, came along to participate in all the shenanigans and see if filming is a career he might want to pursue. We had the opportunity to meet some incredible people and shoot in an environment that was more challenging then most. Chasing a race for a thousand miles through the BAHA Peninsula, Mexico is more difficult than I ever imagined! Just keeping up with the race was hard enough, aside from figuring out how to access the course once you got ahead of the action. Luckily we were placed in a truck that was dedicated to our filming piloted by Charles Hendrickson who happens to be a professional driver that had a highly capable and very fast truck! As a film maker you always want to shoot everything you can including scenics but that becomes difficult at over 100 mile per hour! Needless to say it was a great trip with some incredible stories and awesome footage.
