Visually it comes across as immensely grand, but to be there, in the sweat and heat of the moment, was as intimate and exciting as it gets. Three nonstop weeks of throwing ideas off one another, scraping together scenes, and piecing together a timeless story.
​
A daily fight against time and weather that any other team would've surrendered to; not ours. The Sun&Petrol team could have only been assembled through the blessing of Providence. Our cast and the authenticity of their on-screen performances were simply their genuine, electric-selves immortalized by the camera.
​
If I could relive this experience a thousand times over I would do so in a heartbeat. This project was personified by love, sadness, joy, heartbreak, excitement, energy, and most of all, Sun and Petrol. The lifeblood of automotive adventurists. Here's to the future of what's to come.
