Hey all,
This is our first post on Ridemonkey. We just wrapped our first shoot for FOLLOW ME... in Kamloops. Darcy Wittenburg and the entire Anthill Films crew managed to get some sweet footage of Matt Hunter and Kurt Sorge. Check out Darcy's first hand account of all the action below. Photos are courtesy of Sterling Lorence and Colin Jones/Anthill Films.
We also have a nice interview with Mr. Hunter himself on the site right now. You guys can view that at:

The Loops:
Good dirt, epic people, sick trails, and sunshine...Kamloops always calls us back for more. What better way to start our new film than with one of our best buds Matt Hunter and a new addition to the crew Kurt Sorge. We almost said no to this location early on. Weve filmed in Kamloops a lot before with Hunter and thought we couldnt do it again but damn its just so good! And with the fresh approach of seeing Hunter and Sorge riding together under the no one rides alone mantra and with so many progressive lines built we were on our way.
Minutes into our first evening shoot I knew it was on when (Jonathan) Schramm was flipping out after reviewing the first bagged shot of the film that was the most fd up shot Ive ever seen! With light firing, the crew wasted no time and sessioned variations of the shot until the light faded. Heres a bit of back story on the first shot for FOLLOW ME...
The Vision: Build a sick piece of trail leading into a 40ft booter on the side of a road for a long sustained truck shot with a bit of woo tang.
The Build: Hunter and Sorge and a case of beer, some truck headlights that stayed on until 1 AM. Nice work boys!
The Shot: Truck shots are hard enough to nail let alone with two riders in the frame going all out so they have enough speed to clear the 40 footer. After a couple solo shots of each guy by themselves, Sorge suggests I think were ready to train it. So, with Schramm and I manning the truck/camera combo, CJ in the woods somewhere nailing the super slow-mo, a safety angle just below the road, and Sterling cammod somewhere in the mix we call drop in and proceed to drift the truck down the gravel road around a blind corner all while tracking the boys.
Man it sure feels good to be back in the field again!
A big thanks to the Kamloops crew for all the support! Nikki Sorenson thanks for the epic meals, Mitch Cheek master line builder, and Al for letting us take over your home. Stoked to head back there for more good times in a few weeks.
