For the avid readers of this little distraction I call my blog, you may recall that several months ago I did a little mountain bike race. While I was pedaling along through the woods exploring pain thresholds that I didn’t know existed, I was also working on a movie. See, I had a camera mounted on the stem of my bike and I was taking pictures of myself every minute of the day. My plan was to take all the pictures, throw in some video, and end up with a movie that chronicled my day.
Well, after several months of editing and finding a computer that could process all the high definition video and photos (thanks Cathy), I have finally completed my little attempt at cinematic history and managed to finish it before the end of the year. Granted, it’s not going to set the world on fire with its quality or topic matter, but it turned out to be fairly okay. Of course most of the movie is ending credits, but I wanted to make sure everyone got their props.
While I would like to post the video here or provide a link to where it can be found, that’s not going to happen, at least not yet. First, I plan to have an opening night gala with full-on pomp and circumstance to debut the six minutes of mountain biking bliss. After all, the whole point of being a film maker is to skew reality and give people a perspective that may or may not be true. Besides, what other reason would I have for making a movie that is all about me?

very jealous, would love to be there for the premiere. still expect the formal invitation though! nice work.
Happy New Year and all that jazz.
What a tease you are. Come on, not even a 90 second trailer? :)
No formal invite needed here but may I request/suggest that if you really want to be all hot shit about it, you should host a live streaming video feed from the screening event. Paparazzi photos from the red carpet is optional.
