SHOWTIMES

Aaron’s relationship with his dirt bike has been vital throughout his entire life. It has always been his doorway to a sacred space. After experiencing the unexpected loss of his long time partner, Aaron’s relationship with his bike took on an even deeper meaning than he could have ever imagined. By getting on the bike and stepping through that doorway, Aaron was able to grieve and find some semblance of joy in his life again. More than just a machine, his motorcycle has been a passage to healing, growth, and a conduit to feeling close to beloved again.

Director Statement

This project in particular was a very cathartic experience for the both of us. It touches on a very challenging topic. To ask Aaron to open up about something so sensitive was extremely difficult. He is my bestfriend and I didn't want to poke at a very sensitive subject that I wasn't sure that he was healed from or not yet. But we moved forward with it anyway and Aaron had the courage and vulnerability to open up about this topic in the most genuine and authentic way he possibly could have. In the process of making this film, healing began to take place. For me, it was incredible to see Aaron return to a better place of expectance and growth. It's a project we will never forget and we hope that it helps others out there who are going through something challenging.
