My Challenge, My Goal

I've been filming Racing Heart now for 18 months. I say "I've been filming". No, that's not it.

"I've been watching and experiencing an incredible story unfold"


That's more like it!

What I have to do now is condense this 18 month long odyssey I have witnessed into a 90 minute film. I have to convey not only the bare story that I have witnessed, but also the emotions I felt.

It's been quite a ride watching The Brothers balance their family and culture with their goal. A goal requiring late nights workingon their car after a full day of work. They have to solve problems only for new problems to surface requiring new and inventive solutions to keep the car from breaking down again.

I have to convey everything I felt while witnessing the story unfold in 90 minutes.

That is my challenge, that is my goal.
