That color grade is killin me ahha. Insane riding though

I’ve genuinely never done anything this hard before… 20+ days straight in July, trekking my bike and camera bag up rugged terrain, following these 4 lunatics around. Sleeping on the floor of the bike garage the whole time. Dirty, smelly, sleep-deprived, sore, and mildly malnourished. I couldn’t imagine a better way to live my life! When Timmy hit me up over a year ago with the intention of creating a series for Cannondale, I had no idea that something like this would come to fruition. I started storyboarding and planning for something rudimentary, basic, something that people have seen before. Then, when the idea subsequently got scrapped, I was almost excited that I didn’t have to tackle a season-long ordeal that wasn’t truly with my heart's intentions. A surprise came in the spring, though, a phone call with Timmy, “What’s up, FELLER, C-dale gave us the go-ahead, we’re doing a road trip, and you are comin' along”. I couldn’t believe it, my first real break, I’d been speaking about self-producing a film for some time now. Honestly, the doubt was building within; I didn’t know if this whole film thing was actually going to amount to anything. I felt untalented, behind, and at a major disadvantage. But this! This was an opportunity to show people what I could do, prove that I have a vision and the willpower to make it come to fruition. Prove to myself that I actually have what it takes to make something that feels meaningful. I said f#ck it and left behind the cozy life I’d been building in Washington and decided to pursue this, unbeknownst to me at the time, gargantuan project. When everything was said and done, I was sitting on well over a terabyte of footage to sift through and no home to go back to. I spent the rest of the summer half-avoiding, half anxiously waiting to pit myself into creating this project. I took out loans, missed car payments, avoided every bill you could think of, slept on many a couch, and many a street in my van. In order to fully give my mind over to organizing and planning this piece. Once I got to chopping up clips, it became apparent that the workload was going to be tremendous. I had very loose parameters for this, and essentially didn’t know where it was going until I was almost done with the editing. I knew I had to do the trip, and the hard work of everyone involved justice. What I ended up with was a 54-minute ode to the personality of these athletes. I wanted to showcase the true nature of these wacky characters that had been assembled in front of my lens. I did my best not to show that I was in way over my head when making this. But boy was I, and I honestly can’t believe that we made it happen. I hope you give it a chance. I know it’s a lot to ask someone to commit nearly an hour of their lives to a bike film. But I think you’ll find it’s a lot more than just a bike film. It's a story woven through the eyes of youthful folly and talent. It’s a beautiful testimony for what exploration can do to a young mind, what having a sport like this means to us, and what it is to escape the monotony of daily life. This project is the setup for everything else that I make for the rest of my life, and I’m so goddamn lucky that I have such amazing people in my corner who facilitated its creation. Let me know what you think, THANK YOU, love each other, and lastly, GO MAKE SOME SHIT!

Where is the Must Watch?!?!?! Vid of the year lowkey
