Europe–Africa Rodeo 2022 Recap
Telling the Story From the Saddle, Not the Sidelines
This documentary was created for BackRoadClub, who host the Europe–Africa Rodeo, a yearly low-budget rally leading through Morocco, open to anyone with a small bike or car under 50 hp. From the Atlas Mountains to the Atlantic and the Sahara Desert, it is all about getting through it together. Not about speed, but spirit, friendship and leaving the ordinary behid.
My job was to document the tour and capture its spirit through the voices of the participants; telling a story future adventurers would want to be a part of. Since I had no prep time or crew, I rode along like every other participant, which meant no script, no second takes, just shooting in real time. This was my first big on-the-road production, and it taught me how to adapt fast, film instinctively, and stay creative in the chaos.
