We did it!!! Thank you everyone at MotoTematica - Rome Motorcycle Film Festival organizers, sponsors, jury and attendees. We are so honored to have first been an official selection and now chosen BEST DOCUMENTARY.
It took an amazing team of people to make Caffeine and Gasoline: Evolution of the American Rocker a reality, and I couldn't have done it without a core group of people that are family.

What an incredible month September was for Caffeine and Gasoline: Evolution of the American Rocker. In addition to being selected a finalist and to screen at the amazing MotoTematica Rome Motorcycle Film Festival in Rome, Italy in November, we were also selected one of New Mexico's Best Films by the Albuquerque Film & Music Experience.
I can't thank everyone involved with this project enough - it was fulfilling enough to actually finish the film, but to be recognized and appreciated by the motorcycle community and filmmakers around the world is overwhelming.
Very special thank you to Thaison Garcia, who's story initially inspired the film, Rosario Provenza who came on board and helped make it happen both financially and emotionally, Meghan Noce, who's camera work in key scenes made for a beautiful film, Kayleigh Maes who's set stills and additional camera work brought the stories to life, Lucky Mays for writing a score that was mind blowing and Kristee Byington-Maes for ALWAYS being my muse and support when my crazy brain goes off the rails.

Of course so MANY people contributed so much time, money, support and talent - I continue to thank and appreciate you ALL.

One of the most incredible things about making the film Caffeine and Gasoline: Evolution of the American Rocker, beyond spotlighting a subculture most people know very little about - was meeting and becoming friends with some amazing and interesting people from around the world.

On top of all that - I am honored to have been able to work with incredibly talented musicians on the soundtrack for the film. All of the music is original and showcases artists that are friends and family from around the country. I am humbled that these busy and talented artists have given their hard work and creativity to this project - I am forever grateful! This soundtrack will be released as a digital download, and a special edition Vinyl LP once the film is officially released.
Thank you so much - Lucky Mays, Mario J. Rivera, Eddie Brewer, Danny Pohl, Stefan Filer, Jimmy Deveney, Eric Rico Martinez, Kayleigh Maes, John Cranmore, Ashleigh Maes, Marisa Frantz, Rosario Provenza, Eric Garay and all their musicians and bandmates.

My wife (@kristeemaes ) told me that all I do is eat, drink and sleep motorcycles, it's all I think about. That's not true - I also think about fly fishing and music!
It's been over 20 years since I was last in an actual studio recording my original music. There was a time all I could think about was being a 'rock star', but one beautiful wife, two amazing daughters, many grey hairs and an undisclosed amount of weight later and that dream seems like another life.
Thankfully, because of the inspiration of some incredibly talented family and friends and the desire to include awesome original music in my film #CaffeineAndGasoline - I am back in the studio writing and recording the final song for the film...it feels #Amaesing... Thank you @luckymaysmusic and @EricRicoMartinez for loaning your talent.

The soundtrack will feature these ultra-talented artists:
Lucky Mays - Sound Designer / Original Score
Eddie Brewer, Danny Pohl and the The Despots
Mario J. Rivera and Nights Like Thieves
Steven Colby / Steve Lane Music
Jimmy Deveney
Eric Rico Martinez
Stefan Filer
Kayleigh Maes
John Cranmore / Skitzz Music
Marisa Frantz and Adam McBride-Smith
