Several weeks ago I hit the road with some friends for an adventure and we filmed the whole thing to see what would happen. This is a trailer for the full feature that will release over the next six weeks. As far as Hollywood is concerned, “ROAD TRIP” goes up against Transformers and Harry Potter – No big deal, right?
The feature will be split up into 5-7 minute shorts and be released “webisodically” (ie, as in video podcast form) and exclusively at Virb.com
The Cast of Characters
The Trip features some very talented friends of mine:
Tim Grahl – Often referred to as the “Rupert Murdoch” of the mountain bike world. Tim has been leading the way in how the mountain bike industry is covered as a sport and an industry. Several years ago Tim created a network of sites (The Crooked Cog Network) As a way of keeping up with the fast paced world of cycling.
Justin Snyder – As part of Abandon Films he’s the force behind how the film is shaped. Working closely with actors and copy writing, Justin really understands a story. In a very short amount of time, Justin has a few dozen short films and informational shorts under his belt.
Won Novalis – Also as part of Abandon Films, Won is a fierce editor with the uncanny knack of taking countless tapes of footage and the ability to bring a story to life. Through his composition, Won sets the stage to really capture the drama of any scene.

With temperatures nearly the 100 degree mark the crew set out to Durham, NC. for an adventure and we found it. Almost 500 Miles, very little sleep, an angry groundhog and a bunch of great people were the bookends to the first trip. We shot 13 hours of film in a 36 hour time frame, we documented every step of the way and highlight some local hot spots for food and for entertainment. Starting July 3rd we’ll be releasing the film in 5-7 minute shorts that tell the tale of the trip. Production stills, behind the scenes pictures and video podcast to come.
