The Race
Being right in the centre of the action, exploring the limits of what is possible on two wheels and seeing things from a motorbike's perspective was all I wanted in the race between the 250cc bike with the fastest acceleration in its class and a car.
My first project as director/DoP with my new partners at Home Films in Mexico, and it was a great success from the beginning.
Although the preparation was sporty, the editing and collaboration with sound designers and musicians after an intense day of shooting was most enjoyable and rewarding.
Special thanks go to Luis Elizalde and the creative team at Mexa Creativa for their excellent teamwork, and of course to Ari Garza, Alberto Valladares, Andrea Diaz, and the entire team at Home Films for a wonderful experience.
