Deep in the coast mountains of BC, a small crew of filmmakers has spent the last eleven months working together to produce a new mountain bike film, Follow Me..

Anthill Films this week has announced the result of their hard work, Follow Me…, which is due for release in Spring 2010. The film will feature some of the best mountain bikers in the world, including Sam Hill, Gee Atherton, Brandon Semenuk, Cam McCaul, Thomas Vanderham, Matt Hunter, Ben Boyko, Kurt Sorge, Steve Smith and Geoff Gulevich.

The Anthill crew is no newcomer to the world of mountain bike films, as five members of the team previously worked on The Collective. Darcy Wittenburg, Darren McCullough, Colin Jones, Jonathan Shramm and Sterling Lorence are all working together on this project and have six years of experience working on similar projects.

“Whenever we start a new project” says Darcy, Creative Director for Anthill and Co-Founder of the Collective, “we ask ourselves what we want to do next – we’re always pushing ourselves to come up with new ideas.”

When the team learned that Jamie Houssain (Producer and Co-Founder of the Collective) would be pursuing new opportunities outside of film making, the guys decided it was the right time to start something new and build upon what they had already done.

Follow Me… will be a natural evolution for the Anthill crew and will give them the chance to explore new ideas and concepts that did not fit within the style of the Collective. “Our goal is to really push ourselves as filmmakers to come up with something completely original” says Darcy.

“We want to create a film that is super upbeat and remind everyone why we all love mountain biking”. The film’s central concept is ’no one rides alone’ – focusing on the idea that the best times we have on our bikes is when we’re riding with our friends. FOLLOW ME… will be filmed completely in HD using the latest camera technology, including the new super high-def Red One camera.
