dwc43 Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 (edited) I saw a post for an indie Hot Rod movie, so I thought I'd post this one and see what kind of reaction it gets. I think it will be a good movie and it's filmed in N. Carolina. Feature Film "SHIFT" Get in, Shut Up & Hold On. Boomer Honeycutt is a drag racer. His lone quest; to escape his father's shadow and become the next Classic Gear Jammers Champion. After separating with his fiancée Tina, he takes refuge sleeping in his van. He awakes after a rough night out to find an eleven-year-old boy on the doorstep and a note from his high school sweetheart welcoming him to fatherhood. Set against the backdrop of stick-shift drag racing in the heart of the South, this is a story about fathers and sons, teaching each other what it takes to be a man.

davyou5 Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 It looks like it would be allright, Though I am not too big on Drag Racing, I may give the film a Shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impcon Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 (edited) My middle son loves drag racing - reckon I'll try to go and see this with him. He's 21 and he has a second generation Camaro that he wants to make a race car out of one day. Maybe something like this will give him some motivation to begin to spend some of his money on his car. He's a Camaro nut and it looks like there are some '69's in the show - the '69 is his Holy Grail of cars.

Eric Stone Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Hmmm. Of the three upcoming hot rod movie threads on the site right now, this looks (or sounds) like the best of them. The Oregon-based movie looked a little rough. The Fast and Furious franchise doesn't do much for me. I saw the first one, never bothered with the rest, and didn't even know there was a fourth one already. This one looks cool, if they didn't screw it up by making it too hollywood.

Eric Stone Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 I wonder where this project stands, since if you go to the site, they're still looking for funding. I wonder how much of it has been shot already... ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwc43 Posted December 8, 2010 Author Share Posted December 8, 2010 I think it's all about marketing and distribution as of now, if you check the official website. Dencon has this linked on his home page too. Matter of fact I think I first got it from him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dencon Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 I have been in contact with the writer/actor Randy Spence. He is the one that is playing Boomer Huneycutt. I am in no way connected with this film or knew Randy before this. I found out about it and really felt very strong about this film. I contacted Randy and dedicated a page of my web site to the film. I felt so strong about this film and to be quite frank. I wanted a film like this for my own personal reasons. Randy and I have passed a few e-mails and he had allot of gratitude to the little I did. I let him know that model car builders are the a part of the very demographic that would buy this DVD. Turns out that Randy has dabbled with model cars in the past and through my site. Has checked out other sites like this one. We even talked about a model of the Movie Car and how he could get decals made. Just to let you know a little bit about Randy. He is partners with a very real indie movie production company. He has acted professionally. Even being in a movie with Bruce Willis. He is also from North Caroline and it is his father that owns that Blue Nova (Outlaw Mouse). Randy is also an accomplished driver. He has driven this Nova quite a bit and the car and his family are regulars on the Classic Gearjammers racing circuit. If you are into grass roots doorslammer drag racing. This is the BEST!!! There are allot of vids on You Tube of the Classic Gearjammers. Check them out. So you know that this is going to be a NO B.S. Drag race movie. Being that it was made by someone that has been apart of that racing and that the film uses the people he races with. Here is a video that Randy just put on You Tube of the Nova about a week ago. http://www.youtube.com/user/tdrspence#p/u/3/P4CfX4xPVfo Please Please Please pass the word around about this movie. If you know of anyone with the means to get involved with helping a movie like this out. PLEASE get this link to them. http://www.indiegogo.com/SHIFT We need this movie to get finished. This will be this Century's "Two Lane Blacktop" You know you want to have a copy of this to watch wile you build. You know you do.

dwc43 Posted December 8, 2010 Author Share Posted December 8, 2010 BTW, DW. Thanks for posting this and letting others know about this. Matt Welcome, anytime. I was about to apologize when I started reading the I am not connected part. I was not implying that you was in any way other than at some point I recalled seeing the link on your site. Main reason I posted it was because I saw a similar thread in this section. I like the trailer and the idea behind the plot of the movie and the real drag racing action. Being from the south was a plus. Besides it was real, no cgi like in Driven or the many other screw ups like in Days of Thunder. We need a modern day drag racing film. And this just looked good to me. The song goes good with the trailer too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just stated that just to let everyone know that I am not doing my little part to push this movie and let it be known about out there. Because I have anything to do with the film. I just found it and I realy think that we need this movie to be made. I am glad you started this thread. matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
