I have been filming a documentary about two brothers who are trying to get their car to run the quarter mile drag in under ten seconds.
What do I love about it? Well, if you read THIS post then you know I think that when a human is operating a car, the line between man and machine is blurred and in essence becomes a cyborg. Because even though it is crude…it IS the merger of Man & Machine.
When these boys work on their car, they’re giving their car a work out. As they work on it, it becomes stronger, leaner.
That is a crude comparison but we’ve come a long way and computer/brain implants are right around the corner so I don’t think I’m too far off here. In any case, here is a little trailer I made for the film, titled “Racing Heart” which isn’t due for release till sometime 2008:

Filming is going well. So far it has taken me to St. Louis, Witchita, and next week I will travel to California with the Brothers. Then it’s back to Witchita before lastly heading to Chicago! It’s a lot of fun and a LOT of work, but it’s worth it. I think I have a story to tell. Look for me to post more often after I’m finished shooting this summer. Thank you everybody for your support!
