216. Steve is the FU!
11 months ago
It's been another busy week - I just finished getting the Netflix Competition and the Rooftop Films DVDs all sealed and ready to go for tomorrow! And I was about to export a new teaser, then sit down and get a few more thoughts down on paper for the film.

I have to say the Netflix Competition is a long shot - more accurately; it's a really, really, really crazy long shot - but it feels good to enter and at least give it a shot. You never know unless you try. But I'm pretty excited and anxious about the Rooftop Film Fest. I don't know if it's possible, but I've wanted to attend for the last several years. And being accepted would be a great excuse to buy a ticket to NY!

    Hey Blanche :) Thanks - I think ;) There is a lot to do this year, I've been keeping very busy! But no, no one pays us for this... it's a labor of love. My day job is editing epicfu.com

    Thanks for the link on the doc! I have their site open, and I'll have to drop by the other link later on (I'm just checking in while I'm at work, waiting for something to render).

    Mike the only Documentary's I can think of that might help you out are "Two Roads to Baja", "Two Roads to Taupo" these two follow 2 diffrent Off Road racing teams as the build and race there Toyota FJ Cruisers, if you are interested in them and are having a hard to getting a hold of them let me know and I can mail them to you.

    Another one I really love is "Dust to Glory" I thought this one was very well done, its a documentary on the Baja 1000 a off road race down in Baja Mexico. Dana Brown did this one and his other works are pretty good as well.

    If you haven't you can also check out "Endless Summer" thats a classic surfing Documentary. Sorry there mostly off road related but thats my passion. :)


    Best of luck to you and Amanda on the competitions.
  • mike ambs ☂ plus 10 months ago
    Hey Jeshua :) Thanks for the suggestions! I'm gonna poke around Netflix and see if I can add these to my queue - I've been meaning to see Dust to Glory for a long time, that looked like a good film.

    I have seen endless summer :) I did enjoy that a lot... made me want to surf... but then I remembered I'm terrified of sharks :P
  • jeshua 10 months ago
    Dust to Glory is a great one they did a fantastic job on it. It always pumps me up and makes me want to head down to Baja! Kind of like how Endless summer makes you want to go surf. The other two are good but not in the same class as D2G. Let me know if you can't get them on Netflix and I can mail them to you.

    Ahhh come on Mike the sharks will just nibble on the toes a little. =D

    Not sure if it'd classify as a documentary but I've been in love with the photography in Departures (departuresentertainment.com/).

    A few months ago I watched the last half of Parallel Lines (der.org/films/parallel-lines.html) and was taken away by the content. It may be a little hard to watch but it definitely has a cool style to it.
  • mike ambs ☂ plus 10 months ago
    Hey Gary - that's an awesome website, I've been watching some of their videos. Thanks for the link :)

    That's crazy about Parallel Lines - when that film was just coming out, I had talked to Nina a few times in email and really wanted to see her film... I don't know what happened. But thanks for reminding me about it - I really need to watch it.
