CATALINA GRAND PRIX FILM KICKS UP A GEAR
T
he 2010 Catalina
Grand Prix will be
the subject of a new
feature film to be
released in December,
2015. Labeled "The
Catalina Grand Prix: The
Race Returns," the film
is the latest project from
award-winning motorcy-
cle documentary maker
Todd Huffman and
his company, Pipeline
Digital Media, and will
use footage compiled
throughout the 2010
race. Motocross legend
and ESPN announcer
David Bailey will lend his vocals
to the movie as the narrator.
"I am so happy to finally have
this opportunity to tell the story
of what became a once in a life-
time event for so many people—
including me!" said Huffman.
"This is the type of documentary
film project that I know will hold
such a special place in the
hearts and minds of so many
and it will be such an honor to
bring it all the way
to the checkered
flag for them."
Huffman will
collaborate with
Scott Cox and
his Resmarket
Agency. Scott will
be responsible for
strategic partner-
ships, marketing
and film promotion. The two
have worked together in the
past, most recently on the "Pen-
ton: The John Penton Story"
feature film.
"When Todd invited me to join
him on another movie making
adventure, I could not say 'yes'
fast enough," Cox said. "Over
the years we've collaborated on
a number of projects such as
the Penton movie that debuted
last year. So, of course I didn't
hesitate. This film is extra
special for me also because my
team and I worked daily along-
side 'Cuz'n' Vinnie Mandzak, the
event promoter without whom
the 2010 Catalina Grand Prix
would never have happened.
Todd's crew captured spectacu-
lar footage and I am absolutely
certain that this movie will be
equally as spectacular."
The film will also feature
highlights of the earlier Catalina
Grand Prix events of the 1950s,
but its primary focus will be on
the epic battle between race
winner Kendall Norman and
the late Kurt Caselli. Shooting
for interviews will take place
over the summer with the final
project expected to be aired in
December 2015.
Catalina Grand Prix
feature film set to release
December of this year.
