Documentary - calling all Central Florida folks

As some of you remember from my Rx-8 video, I'm at Full Sail working my way through a degree in Digital Media. Currently, I'm in the Digital Media Production course, and we'll be doing documentaries.

I need 7 drivers of all shapes and sizes to interview. If you have a ratty beast that runs like a bat out of hell - I want you. If you have a pretty car with triple-decker wing and still have your rats nest - I want you. If you are Iotus and have a pretty car with a TII? Drive down here and I'll make you famous!

Basically - I'm doing a pretty-is-as-pretty does documentary, but am wanting to paint the "ricers" in a more positive light, if they can convince me to do so.

So, if you're in the central Florida area or are willing to travel - email me, message me - just get in touch with me.

Thanks

If you make a calling for ricers, you will get ricers! If I was you I would go to lakeland Drag Strip, they usually have some good rotary powered cars and stay away from ricers, which are usually teens with low experience with performance. They also usually have some good stuff at Sunshine also. Unless you are going for daily driven modern hot rods?

I don't want to tip my cards, but I will...

I plan on interviewing ricers and purists and presenting both sides in a short documentary

Sounds cool, I would like to view it when you are finished. I have a friend who makes films and had entered "Eulogy" in the saints and Sinners short film festival in St. Pete. It was a tight film! Iam glad to hear you know the difference between the ricers" and "purist", sounds like a good idea to basically show the public the differences also.

Dates will be the week of the 17th. Need a general idea of who might be able to be interviewed/filmed. Time committment would be small if needed.

It died after 5K miles even after all break-in procedures were followed. Haven't had the time (school schedule - I'm sure you've heard) to tear it down to find the fault.

No worries - I'll be filiming Monday - Sat of next week. Hit me up with your availability and I'll let you know what times I'll be shooting on those days.
