The latest, and highly anticipated, movie from Clay Porter (Distinction
Productions) is the epically filmed "F1RST", and today sees the launch of the
new web site featuring the captivating new trailer.
www.f1rstmovie.com also features information on the World Premiere set for
April 18, in Monterey, during the week of the Sea Otter Classic, as well as how
people can order tickets for the limited seating for this film event. There
will also be, coming soon, information on the various Regional Premieres taking
place all over the world, from May onwards.
The all important sponsors who have made this film possible are also featured,
in particular Fox Racing Shox, Santa Cruz Bicycles, Troy Lee Designs, decline
magazine, e.thirteen components, FUNN MTB, adidas Eyewear and Formula Brakes.
However most people will be first checking out the trailer, to see what
filmmaker Clay Porter has been busy putting together over the past 2 weeks for
this launch. Here's what he says in his own words about the trailer for F1RST:
"I'm really excited about the launch of www.f1rstmovie.com and to finally
release the film's trailer. Since I premiered Between The Tape last April, I've
been hard at work on the film's sequel and I'm stoked to finally let people get
a glimpse of what's to come on April 18th.
Between The Tape and its trailer touched the surface of what the sport of
downhill racing is, but for the F1RST trailer I wanted to delve deeper into the
minds of the athletes. I chose all the interview clips and narration to fit a
certain feel; finding out what is going through a rider's mind when racing
downhill.
I'm also excited about the blog on the website where you'll be able to track
the final two shoots of the film as well as the editing stages. Even though the
World Cup series ended last September I haven't put the camera down. I leave
for Sam Hill's house in Australia in a week in a half to wrap up his section,
and then leave for South Africa at the end of February to shoot with Greg
Minnaar and Steve Peat for their section. It's going to be a busy next three
months for me and you'll be able to track it all on www.f1rstmovie.com."
