About the Director
------------------
This new documentary CAN AM The Speed Odyssey for the
first time captures in color motion picture one of the most
revered road racing spectacles: 1966 1973 CAN AM Challenge Cup,b>
The film project began with a worldwide archive search for
original CAN AM footage and audio. Filmmaker Robert Nevison
commenting I wanted to take the audience back to this unique
time, as it happened. Our plan was to craft the new documentary
entirely from original CAN AM color archive film footage. What we
did discover was exceptional. CAN AM The Speed Odyssey rare
archive footage originates from numerous cans of 16 mm color
film, two inch wide television broadcast color video reels and a
select a of Super 8 mm color footage filmed by CAN AM race
teams. Creating this new film was like assembling a very large
mosaic, challenging but really exciting to see the story unfold.
Now all generations worldwide can experience this timeless road
racing spectacle, an odyssey of pure speed, fierce race
competition, radical innovations and ground shaking sounds.
