Utah Backcountry Discovery Route Documentary

Just returned from riding & shooting for the "UTBDR" film project. An amazing journey crossing Utah south to north, offroad. Working and living off of a motorcycle presents unique challenges, which are more than made up for by the rewards offered up in this stunning landscape. Info on how to obtain DVDs, maps, and GPS data will be posted once it's available.

You reach a "point" in your trip where you realize it's become an adventure... 📸 @jonbeckadv | #RideBDR #RideRight

NYC film project

Flew to NYC this week to do some filming for a short. A business man trapped in the all-too-common loop of "duty" versus "life", Josh Manning played the lead role of the businessman, and I played the role of the adventurous spirit that had emerged from that world. Written, rehearsed, and filmed on location in a matter of a few days thanks to the skill of Ruel Dahis Antipuesto and Janice Y. Perez and their amazingly efficient and professional DP & audio work.
