With my present company schedule, I could not break away for early screenings or the movie premier. Tim Sanchez forwarded a screening DVD to me from
Marty. Thanks kindly!
I do plan to see the "big screen" version this month in my locale but, today, while the house was quite, and with some time alone I popped the DVD
into the drive and relaxed into the comfort of my favorite coach in front of our old Mitsubishi big screen.
From the very beginning Dana Brown's cinematic artwork instills itself as a piece of the legend of what the Baja 1000 is. The movie is a superb
documentary of the community of people, the sacrifice, the challenge, the commraderie, the joy, the exhiliraton, the drama, the triumph and the land
and people that are Baja and the Baja 1000 which makes "Dust to Glory" an unparalleled production created by a master for pure rabid consumption by
all the adventurers of present mankind.
I finished the movie just 30 minutes ago and my skin is still crawling with goosebumps and my mind can barely concentrate on the post I attempt to
create as I remember what I have just seen and as I mix that in with my own experiences at and in the SCORE, Baja races for almost a decade. The movie
brought a swell in my eyes at times and it made me reminice, which then locked me solidly into a common destiny and a partial reason for existence
that so many of us share.
I know that almost everyone reading this post will see the movie but, I request that you take it a step further. Urge your friends, your family and
all of those that you care about to see this movie in the theaters. When the DVD is released, buy them by the dozen and stick them in the hand or the
Christmas stocking of everyone again and also for those that "don't get it" but, that you want to have "get it".
Thanks Dana!
When is the sequel?

Sounds like a great film.

We were there for the 7:30 screening at the NuArt in Sta. Monica. Also 3/4 full of happy, excited people. The Italian Restaurant - Luigi's around
the corner served plenty of us - some with Corona bottles in hand!
It was great to finally see the film I'd been waiting months for.
