A two wheeled enthusiast with an unlikely love affair with the desert sparked by his father. The connection with Baja being a paradise for the traveling surfer / dirt biker. 1000 miles of uncharted trails and beaches. A point where the two worlds truly intersect. This sparked a childhood dream to one day race the Baja 1000. Through this, a friendship and mentor was born in the form of Carlin Dunne, whose untimely death left Forrest in search of honouring his fallen teammate. @forrestminchinton https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6108cec93034f413740472f1/1631598139171-KWQ1LLKIBNBMKBCLCA5N/desert-said-dance-colton.jpg CAST & CREW - COLTON UDALL Tobias Keene, D.D.S.

Lincoln Caplice – Photo Journal - Make it stand out This shot is of Derek outside San Felipe, Baja. He’d begun pre-running and practicing his route and we came over to shoot some of it. This is a particular stretch of the track which runs parallel to the road - normally Andy would operate the camera, but on this day - I strapped in and hung out the window of our van whilst we tracked alongside Derek. Andy controlled the camera remote, whilst Sandy pulled focus. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6108cec93034f413740472f1/1631598451853-NHMCZIGU8BU5A7LWLHRI/the-desert-said-dance-000273640004_4A.jpg JOURNAL - Lincoln Caplice – Photo Journal We came cross this huge salvage yard on our way into San Felipe, Baja. Whilst making the film, we were constantly on the look out for shots that would give the audience a sense of each location. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6108cec93034f413740472f1/1631599467722-AGPUC377HFPA2LXVQA5U/the-desert-said-dance-000273640021_21A.jpg JOURNAL - Lincoln Caplice – Photo Journal - Make it stand out This is the owner of the famous fireworks store on the way into San Felipe. We bought a bunch of fireworks off him to shoot a closing sequence to the film, but a few of the crew let them all off whilst celebrating a long day of shooting and we never got to film it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6108cec93034f413740472f1/1633580960535-JEIL7MBT79FU2Y2X9HXJ/000273660010_10.jpg JOURNAL - Lincoln Caplice – Photo Journal - Make it stand out This is Matt, he was a photographer on the film and such a great guy to have around. Every time we’d be shooting a scene, Matt would be next to us shooting stills - and even though I’d tell him to move out of frame most days, he’d just beam with positivity. Everyone needs a Matt on their productions. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6108cec93034f413740472f1/1633581143350-W3SCO0NFZY2E588JO8FI/000273670016_16.jpg JOURNAL - Lincoln Caplice – Photo Journal - Make it stand out One of the last shots off my camera from the trip. It’s Jam and Andy in the foreground, walking to have a beer at the beach near our house. We’d wrapped shooting in Mexico, and the crew had thought they were done filming. I had to break it to them we needed to go to back up to Santa Barbara to shoot a final interview with Derek before we could wrap our film. Was a nice moment anyway. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6108cec93034f413740472f1/1631598483688-ET7NJRBCYN23357C2UBG/the-desert-said-dance-000273640011_11A.jpg JOURNAL - Lincoln Caplice – Photo Journal - Make it stand out This was just outside San Felipe, Baja. An old mechanic that we came across just as the sun was setting. Again, just another example of the texture and ambiance we’d constantly search out to create a sense of location. The guys that worked there happily posed and smoked a cigarette whilst Andy got some shots. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6108cec93034f413740472f1/1633581014527-OAK9TE37FPSFR8YZG0O9/000273660015_15.jpg JOURNAL - Lincoln Caplice – Photo Journal - Make it stand out This is the race bike at Forrest’s ranch. Figured I’d throw this one in, but pretty straight forward. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6108cec93034f413740472f1/1633581067105-D4AUE1C7ULIRS6CINT15/000273660023_23.jpg JOURNAL - Lincoln Caplice – Photo Journal - Make it stand out As close to a group shot as you’ll get of the crew, minus Jam (sorry Jam). From left to right you have Forrest, Tom (photographer), Sandy (1st AC), Andy, Harrison, Myself and Matt (photographer). This is inside Harrison’s beloved Trophy Van. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6108cec93034f413740472f1/1633580865142-RY0WR7DX6NXGT23PVI4Q/000273660002_2.jpg JOURNAL - Lincoln Caplice – Photo Journal - Make it stand out Another moment shooting on Forrest’s property in the Mojave Desert. He has so many different types of terrain within minutes of his ranch. This is one example, the sand dunes. We’d bring Forrest’s truck out loaded with gear whilst the photographers would ride their own bikes and we’d spend hours shooting lines around the area. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6108cec93034f413740472f1/1633580702441-1SN54UAGLL2515SU4C17/000273640028_28A.jpg JOURNAL - Lincoln Caplice – Photo Journal - Make it stand out Sandy and Andy in Ensenada. We spent days roaming around the city trying to find shots that would give the audience an insight into what it’s like there. This is just outside of a local football match that we just wandered into. The whole community was eager to have us there, and couldn’t of been kinder to allow us to shoot whilst they enjoyed the match. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6108cec93034f413740472f1/1633580768034-MTRAEVK2POURGPQR9R81/000273650033_34.jpg JOURNAL - Lincoln Caplice – Photo Journal - Make it stand out This is Forrest on his property in the Mojave Desert. We’d go out most mornings and afternoons to shoot sequences of Forrest and the team testing the race bike. I like that you can see these roads going off to nowhere, it would be easy to get lost out there if you didn’t know your way. I think that’s Matt Cherubino on the left taking a photo. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6108cec93034f413740472f1/1633580919332-HOQZ46YAO9HL0W1PH6YZ/000273660003_3.jpg JOURNAL - Lincoln Caplice – Photo Journal - Make it stand out This is Andy strapped into the Maxima (a stabilised rig) - the thing weighed a tonne and moving through thick sand for hours is a real testament to his fitness. It allowed us to get smooth shots of the boys in action, in the most remote locations. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6108cec93034f413740472f1/1633581111595-PIA0JVON2DT1IMJPUI8J/000273670004_4.jpg JOURNAL - Lincoln Caplice – Photo Journal - Make it stand out This is the night of the race, probably about 2am - probably had about 3 hours of sleep from the previous day shooting. Can’t use my camera, obviously. It’s Colton wheeling out the race bike whilst Andy films and Forrest mentally preps for what’s ahead. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6108cec93034f413740472f1/1633580806030-QD3CKF4HLY2GATI2UEXM/000273660019_19.jpg JOURNAL - Lincoln Caplice – Photo Journal - Make it stand out I obviously didn’t take this photo, not sure who did - sorry. This is Andy and myself in the back of a Forrest’s truck after shooting a scene of Forrest testing his headlight for the race. I like it as Andy and I spent a lot of time together during the making of this film, often sharing bunk beds or caravans, and this kinda sums it up. Us in the back of a truck, trying to get it done. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6108cec93034f413740472f1/1631599255004-0NFOJ5TDJ2ANA04OC2EF/the-desert-said-dance-000273640019_19A.jpg JOURNAL - Lincoln Caplice – Photo Journal - Make it stand out Harrison, Executive Producer of the film, standing proud with his vehicle, dubbed the ‘Trophy Van’. We logged some serious miles in it during the 2-3 months we were making this film. He’d sneak off and clean it occasionally as we’d destroy it with mud, dust and beer cans - thanks for being the driver Harry. https://thedesertsaiddance.com/portfolio/andrewgough-photo-journal monthly 0.5 2021-10-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6108cec93034f413740472f1/1633659417598-CC2MHFTR2IS05XFPWULV/Andy+Gough+TDSD-4.jpg JOURNAL - Andrew Gough – Photo Journal - Make it stand out The Local Corner Store in Mojave Desert, not far from where we tested the race bike prior to the start. The environment of the desert made it an ideal testing ground to match the Mexican landscape the team would race in. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6108cec93034f413740472f1/1633659589339-MQOGCEAG2Q6DRDUZXZ3Q/Andy+Gough+TDSD-8.jpg JOURNAL - Andrew Gough – Photo Journal - Make it stand out This portrait was taken whilst making a morning coffee before a day of filming in the Mojave Desert. Forest’s Father Mike would be up every morning, keeping the fire going and making his morning brew. We really became a part of the rider’s journey after a few weeks out in the desert testing the bikes, and living all together in the small rooms Mike had built himself. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6108cec93034f413740472f1/1633659259301-35BMR1XWLE3ONUBPMXI8/Andy+Gough+TDSD-1.jpg JOURNAL - Andrew Gough – Photo Journal After breaking for lunch I took a short walk alone along the beachfront in San Felipe on a small investigative look for some possible cut away moments. These moments really became an everyday search during the making of the film. Stumbling across layers of texture made up of whatever presented itself. These little searches set the tone for me for ways to shoot and represent the idea of ‘place’ in the film. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6108cec93034f413740472f1/1633659515900-QIADTOWU466DSE672K4D/Andy+Gough+TDSD-7.jpg JOURNAL - Andrew Gough – Photo Journal - Make it stand out Whilst constantly on the road and on the move, we would come across so many moments to capture Mexico’s unique landscape. It became a very inspiring visual element and character in the film. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6108cec93034f413740472f1/1633659299501-GVMVF77VBF4QU0R8VCNF/Andy+Gough+TDSD-2.jpg JOURNAL - Andrew Gough – Photo Journal - Make it stand out A local group of Mariachi’s drinking beer and playing together on the street in San Felipe.

That day really cemented my understanding of how vast and diverse the terrain was in Baja and how challenging the upcoming race was going to be for the Team. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6108cec93034f413740472f1/1633659467477-WKJYROMFB3CHMDEOG4XR/Andy+Gough+TDSD-5.jpg JOURNAL - Andrew Gough – Photo Journal - Make it stand out Dusk in the Mojave Desert. We shot a majority of our moto action in the afternoon light which made for some amazing painterly skies. Shooting at this time of day really showed a mysterious side to the Landscape. This helped with a level of foreshadowing during the film, the Mexican Desert living up to its name as one of the greatest challenges whilst racing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6108cec93034f413740472f1/1633659487934-9DDSHDT4ZQTDFD4UDZH3/Andy+Gough+TDSD-6.jpg JOURNAL - Andrew Gough – Photo Journal - Make it stand out Derrick silhouetted at sunset on the fire trails in the hills of Santa Barbara, close to his home.

I had planned out every route each camera and helicopter team would take in order to play leapfrog with the race team and capture mid race shots. I spent quite a few late nights pouring over these maps and could probably count the hours of sleep I had in the week leading up to the race on two hands haha. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6108cec93034f413740472f1/1633659941855-Z6R22ARTCRSS0JKZY9KQ/BAJA1000%282019%29-%40MojaveProductions-%40harrisonamark-582.JPG JOURNAL - Harrison Mark – Photo Journal - Make it stand out Out the window of the helicopter.

Matt Cherubino – Photo Journal - Make it stand out A personal favorite, Forrest and his farther Mike work side by side in the Mojave Desert. There's something about that place where time as Forrest puts it, just seems to melt away. I got lost in watching both of them working on their separate disciplines, it’s special what they both have and how they share and spend time together out in the desert. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6108cec93034f413740472f1/1633664596975-U40T80JFOD48T8Q8Y3ZO/MATT-CHERUBINO_2019_Baja-1000_90818+1.jpg JOURNAL - Matt Cherubino – Photo Journal - Make it stand out Afternoon sun catches the flames of dust, I remember this moment vividly, as much as it was about building up to race highly competitively, it was easy to see Forrest is passionate about riding and does it for all the right reasons. Getting out there and having fun, it’s definitely inspiring to see and know not to take everything all too seriously. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6108cec93034f413740472f1/1633664861760-XXYC1I87VVES4Y1Q33DN/Matt-Cherubino_USA_0066.jpg JOURNAL - Matt Cherubino – Photo Journal - Make it stand out This image reminds me of the coldness that would snap across the ranch as the winter sun set of the Mojave Desert. Often, a fire would follow along with an incredible meal cooked by the extremely talented Sandy McLennan, who was the focus puller that never missed a beat. It was also around this time that Jam Hassan landed in LA, Australian correspondent and on location Lord Jam made things happen and never failed to keep the mood behind the scenes electric. I couldn't speak more highly of the days we spent out there and the people I got to share it with. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6108cec93034f413740472f1/1633664959156-ODZHHGP8DZF0QYGINIE3/Matt-Cherubino_USA_0067.jpg JOURNAL - Matt Cherubino – Photo Journal - Make it stand out A portrait of Lincoln Caplice, the director in his signature all white linen. Lincoln, is one of the humblest people I’ve met – hearing creative vision for the film and then watching complex and intricate moments form and build to create his story of the Baja 1000 was something special. He was always hands on, carrying gear and helping the team, he wasn’t there to sit back on a chair and point fingers, Lincoln was in amongst it and constantly at ready to capture the story as it dynamically transitioned. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6108cec93034f413740472f1/1633664715264-QOLPDWPZ1FHBZ8EQOHEP/MATT-CHERUBINO_2019_Baja-1000_105023.jpg JOURNAL - Matt Cherubino – Photo Journal - Make it stand out Yet another ‘pinch me moment’. The Heli came flying in with the Shotover bolted below, a few of the crew climbed in and the riders took to the beach. What ensued is something I won't forget anytime soon, four riders and a helicopter lapping the beach as the sun dipped below the Pacific. I’ll never forget when my good friend and Producer of the film Harrison Mark called me to ask if I’d like to be a part of the project. Just he described some 6 months earlier, I was standing here watching the scene unfold. Harry is beyond talented and at 22 years old, it’s incredible what he has accomplished. I’m proud of him for what he has achieved in both his career and the creation of this film. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6108cec93034f413740472f1/1633664776954-T2W7B5VPVHFCFZ55L9E5/MATT-CHERUBINO_2019_Baja-1000_108551+1.jpg JOURNAL - Matt Cherubino – Photo Journal - Make it stand out Race Day, Derek rides toward Ensenada in a pivotal moment of the race, it was one of the most inspiring feats of determination and shear will power that I've had the pleasure to witness.

I’d just flown into LA from Kathmandu in Nepal the previous day, the juxtaposed landscapes and culture is what really stood out to me.

Having bought fireworks the previous days, the end neared of yet another large shift on the tools – it really summarizes the trip for me. Whilst we all dug deep and worked hard, there was never a dull moment with crew, I was very fortunate to be able to work alongside people that made me feel that grateful. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6108cec93034f413740472f1/1633664818246-4TL7G5LWYME0B9H2JPZK/Matt-Cherubino_USA_0064.jpg JOURNAL - Matt Cherubino – Photo Journal - Make it stand out Forrest, blue hour at the ranch. Forest isn’t only just a talented rider and surfer, he takes that same passion he has for his talented into his life. Down to earth and always up to work alongside the crew to transform a concept of a shot into fruition. Here, the pastels of blue hour form, without fail, every night displayed the soft gradient of blues above the surrounding rocky mountains. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6108cec93034f413740472f1/1633665051976-M7MCUQ37XHJEXBLKZWI3/Matt-Cherubino_USA_0073.jpg JOURNAL - Matt Cherubino – Photo Journal - Make it stand out Colton Udall, Derrek Ausserbauer, Forrest Minchinton and Nic Garvin were the riders that formed the Baja 1000 team, 5X. Watching them ride and the dedication they put towards their craft was infectious, to race at that level and put it all on the line wasn’t short of admirable. Being on this production it gave me a first hand experience to see how chasing their dream of winning the Baja 1000, impacted positively over the 6 weeks I was present, a life altering path that brought them all together. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6108cec93034f413740472f1/1633665011153-H4XW4IP66DNOAH3J6ZIS/Matt-Cherubino_USA_0071.jpg JOURNAL - Matt Cherubino – Photo Journal - Make it stand out Often, I was standing side by side with Andy Gough. Andy was the DOP, I don’t think he truly knows how much of an impression he left on me. Watching Andy at work was like watching an Artist paint as cliche as that might sound, the way the scenes and moments came together felt both calculated yet effortless.
