Amazing, unbelievable truly inspiring piece of work. I ran with Hal during the Rocky Raccoon this year, these guys are the real deal, athletes who rarely get any spotlight but deserve it all, who are humble and not self promoters. So glad our ultra-running activity has such a great community and filmmakers like JB!
Too bad the movie doesn't seem to be available in streaming or digital download form. I wanted to surprise my wife tonight, but, alas, no dice. Why not? Take a look at Louis CK's experience with easy digital downloads. I'm not saying you should charge $5, but I'd download it for the full DVD price rather than waiting for delivery of a scratchable DVD.
@stopgapper Digital Downloads will be available. There is just a lot of lead-time and red tape in setting this up. We are aiming for February when we do an iTunes and major retailer launch.
@aquabol1 The release date was announced in UltraRunning Magazine this month, but for those who missed it, screenings and pre-sales begin 11-25-2011, we just updated the webpage and added a full release schedule and a signup page for those interested in hosting a Digital Download Screening in their theater or living room in their local areas.

Is there a way I could pre-order this dvd? My dad's birthday is this summer and he is obsessed with this race and I would love to pre-order it for him. I checked the website, and so far there is no pre-order option :-(
Thanks to JB for my moment of immortality [4:03], where I was working the Nikon, which climaxed here on my flickr site at larrygassan/4750386683/, with Geoff, Anton, Jenn, and Lou in frame...
@journeyfilm Definitely! Awesome community over there with a ton of talented people. I curate the documentary film channel over there and would love to post some of your work up there.
@MattySchwartzLPW The song is actually called Chapter 7 by Blackyear. It is available at iTunes and Amazon. They changed the name on the album from Credit Mess to Chapter 7.
JB, What Luis Escobar did for WS that day with his mind blowing phtotgraphy you have equalled with this footage and coming DVD. Congratulations and thank you for giving ultra runners all over the world an insight into the battle and behind the scenes of an amazing day. Chapeau :)
@themarathon42 After unsuccessful attempts at filming WS100 in 2006, 2007, and 2009 it became clear that even with 7 cameras, this race is much too difficult to film without limiting the focus to a small group of runners with similar paces. The mens race had three undefeated runners and a chance at a course record, so we went for the mens leaders. However our last film Rowing the Atlantic featured a woman adventurer and future films will as well. Thanks for viewing and for your comment.
this is probably my favorite movie and before im gone im getting that belt buckle end of story.
