From Checkpoint Zero Film:
Our new film, The Last Damn, begins its festival run today in The Bicycle Film Festival's BFF 2023 Virtual Worldwide, with in person events and other festival screenings to come in 2023. We will also be holding a MN screening in early 2023, more info to come! Please see the festival link and teaser trailer below for more info. Over 600 riders signed up for the 2021 Day Across Minnesota, the event this film is based on. Having filmed the DAMn three times, we are truly inspired by all the riders who are willing to take on 240 or 480 miles of gravel roads. It takes a strong will and to quote John "Johnny Gravel" Jarvis, "perhaps a lack of oxygen to the brain," to push oneself in rides like these. We wished we could cover all of the amazing rider stories that played out over that weekend in August, unfortunately we couldn't be everywhere at once. As a filmmaker, I can personally attest there are stories that we heard about after the race, that we weren't able to capture, that will haunt me for a long time. The reality is for The Last Damn and our two previous gravel films, Delta of Spirit and Ride More, Drift Less, nearly all of the footage was filmed by one person chasing riders across the state. I'd wager we put over 1,000 miles on our vehicle for The Last Damn, probably more. All of the riders are inspiring to us, we wish this film could feature all of you in some way. Below is a list of the those featured in The Last Damn. There are many others who make an appearance as well. And again, we wish we could capture all of you because whether you appear in this film or not, we are inspired and humbled by sharing the gravel with you. And we're not done making gravel films. We'll see you out on the hot and dusty soon! In order of appearance:
