ASK & DISCUSS INDEX

Hi Shooters

I'd like to share some news and ask for your support in that a Superbike documentary I shot in 2020 is now available to buy or rent on Amazon.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Chasing-Championship-Chrissy-Rouse/dp/B09XBNZP46

You don't need to be a bike racing fan to enjoy it, and my hope is that it reaches an audience beyond the racing paddock. It's an inspiring story of dedication to a cause, and brave moves paying off against the odds. A small independent team of volunteers on a shoestring, taking it to the deep pockets of factory (manufacturer) teams.

I had not made a doc before, and this was a big challenge. Early on in the process I posted here on SP for some help and ended up working with a fellow shooter Andi Reiss, who helped me to wrestle the hours of footage and story into some kind of shape.

Please give it a watch, and consider leaving a review on Amazon, as I believe this helps to build a profile for the film.

As a side note, I had read lots of articles stating that Amazon do not take independent works of non fiction since last year (around Feb'21 I think), but this is slightly misleading. I think they perhaps will not take indy documentary onto the "included with prime" platform, but they certainly accept them for buy or rent. The split is 50/50, I'll report back on how it goes.

Thanks in advance for your support by watching the film. I hope you enjoy it.
