With age comes wisdom.

Good morning reader, 

A part of making this film is gathering the origin story (that is a new hip term for history I understand). 

A linear story made some sense when we started. 

I began to assemble personal and donated photos and stories presented in John Blaizer's Forgotten Heros of the Speedways :  The Riding Mechanics. 

John spent several hours speaking with me and sharing his collection for the film. A real racer heart. 

That was back in 2020. 

Almost three years later,  we are back at it. 

Last month we were able to steal some time from Jacques Couture - my boss from my beginnings in the sport seem below looking ,,, well - like a boss.  

 

While Dana and I were noodling through the production over lunch in Sonoma, we came to the realization that Jacques was right - he usually is - that the subject is too big for a single film, "...can't tell the story in 90 minutes. It's too big. Plus, no one has an attention span anymore." 

Our discussion led to the general idea of several "episodes" to control the drift of the project,, to tell the stories properly and the relationships therein.  

All that stated, we will be visiting Jacques for more soon.

Hang with us - its going to be very interesting when I start to edit the hours of raw video into something worth watching. 

Thanks for reading and we will be posting more soon.
