cycle – Documentary | 12:13| Directed by: Jay William Thomas
This documentary is an exploration of my father’s love of cycling told through a circuit race organization in Austin, Texas called the Driveway Series. I explored the incredible athleticism and dedication of these athletes and saw a passion that reflected what I witnessed growing up. Cycling has always been a tangential force in my life, and I wanted to know why people cycle and push themselves. What I found was my own fear. My fear of disappointing my father, for not taking part in a community he valued so much.
