The Dirt Chix: Making Time

This documentary started as a hope for a 10-minute video on the Dirt Chix. With a little luck and a long time focused on a dream, it turned into a 43 minute documentary for Telus Optik, produced by Vandelso Productions, that had a profound impact not only on the riders but on the film crew behind the scenes.

The Dirt Chix: Making Time held it’s world premiere on September 20th at the Paramount Theatre in Kamloops. In a time when it’s difficult to get people out to see longer mountain biking videos in a theatre, the Dirt Chix sold out the 500 seat theatre and there were still people looking for tickets outside.

The crew for this project was amazing.
