Synopsis

Darklight takes viewers into a world of light and colour. Professional mountain bikers Graham Agassiz, Matt Hunter and Matty Millas spend a night going from the amazing lunar landscapes of southern Utah to the Ewok Woods of the North-western Pacific. A physically and mentally demanding production, this piece was shot during the midnight hours over three intense weeks. With a scrappy and determined crew of 27, thousands of pounds of camera and lighting gear was slogged, rigged, soldered, hung and broken down each night. Unlike anything ever seen before in the world of mountain biking, Darklight features arrestingly beautiful landscapes and world class riding.
