Hi Divide riders, past, present, and future,
I'm working on a big project right now that brings together bikepacking and creative music (
www.sonicdivide.com). Part of the project involves creating a documentary film about the event after it is all over. For this type of film I will need plenty of great still photos of scenery, bikes, people, etc on the Divide (especially scenery) as well as videos that I can use for B-roll footage.
I know many of you are carrying iPhone6s and other phones with really great photo and video capability. Some of you may even be traveling with a DSLR camera of some sort. I will have several GoPros with me and my phone (which takes pretty good photos) so I'll be getting lots of shots, but I'm looking to build a fairly big library of footage and images so that when I get to the editing stage of the film I have lots to choose from. I also really like the idea of harnessing the power of this awesome community of badasses who ride the Divide.
So, if you get some shots that you're really proud of and would like to have them included in a documentary film please let me know. I can't offer you any money (I'm going way into the red on this project . . . ) but you will definitely have your name listed in the credits of the film.

Thanks so much!
