Dirt and Determination

Description Kurtis Downs is a MTB and BMX savage. He rides for Nitro Circus and competes professionally all the world. This short was filmed among etherial rock formations in Virgin, UT. The story is about the grit, and support from friends and family that fuels Kurtis and his band of riders as they flock to the desert. Director's Note Filmed by the talented UFC sports cinematographer, Kidron Cannon, Dirt and Determination features shots that make any editor’s reel sizzle. Kidron, a certified drone operator, flies over Utah's incredible landscape. You need to stitch together these elegant aerials with slow-motion action shots and a bike-mounted GoPro. The variety of cameras makes playing with continuity and color fun and challenging.
