Hasta La Motion!

Self-shot and edited whilst cycling around the world, this short film charts my winter journey into the Canadian Arctic as I completed my bike ride up the American continent. Compelled by Jack London’s assertion, that ‘any man who is a man can travel alone’, I sought an adventure of perfect solitude. Yet, as I came to realise, the harsh truths of travelling in such a formidable environment were a long way from the romantic images I’d held of this land. The Frozen Road is an honest reflection on my solo trip; of the wonder, terror and frustration I experienced when riding through the unforgiving emptiness of one of the world’s ‘last great wildernesses’. – Notable awards for the film: ‘Special Jury Mention’ – Banff Mountain Film Festival ‘Best Director’ – Bilbao Mendi Film Festival ‘Spirit of Adventure’ – 5Point Film Festival ‘Best Adventure Film’ – New York WILD ‘Best Exploration and Adventure Film’ – Fort William Mountain Film Festival Featuring in the Banff World Tour 2018 – Music: AA Bondy – Mightiest of Guns Rasmus Brix – Josefine Tom Rosenthal – Go Solo – Thanks to Fatback Bikes for their equipment support. – If you’ve enjoyed this film please think about donating whatever you think it was worth/can afford to help cover some of the costs of making it and releasing it for FREE! Between 2014 and 2017 I pedalled my way across five continents, filming the entire journey as I went. I’m hoping to turn that footage into a longer film later this year and so any kind support will really help make that happen 🙂 PLUS any donators will receive a download of The Frozen Road for free!

Then only; a gratefulness arises I call that gratefulness true religion. All that you need is a deep gratitude towards existence, he need not believe in god, he need not believe in heaven and hell just a simple phenomenon, a deep felt gratitude that this existence would have been missing something without you, that this vast existence needed you, no one else. And your place, was empty before you, will be empty after you.

Cayce Zavaglia “I can’t do portraits of people that I’m not connected to. I think there’s something about doing people that I know intimately, that puts something in the portrait that I can’t put into words … or I don’t want to put into words, because I want to keep it private. But making the portrait, says everything that I can’t say with words.” Music courtesy of Podington Bear.

“You realize you haven’t crossed the street in 13 years.” For Johnny Perez, returning to society and to his family after being in prison for 13 years wasn’t easy. JOHNNY’S HOME is part of a short animated documentary series about mass incarceration in the U.S., which shows the toll that an abusive and unjust criminal system takes on individuals, families, and communities.
