WOW! That is a funny story

Hey all. We had a fantastic time at the MVL 38th! All of us couldn't get over how welcoming everyone was. We had a chance to meet some folks and chat with them about everything from vannin and our documentary to life in general. We got to see what it's all about and are really stoked to head up to the Nats in a month or so and really get to filming. I'd just like to thank Howard on here and all the great clubs that were there for the warm welcome and hospitality! We look forward to seeing you all again. We wanted to talk to everybody, but alas, time was limited. If we didn't get a chance to talk, we'll hopefully meet you up at the Nats. As always, send me a personal message or comment on here if you're interested in putting yourself on camera.

Side note: I think I'll just continue to crash show n' shine's as that seems to be a winning ticket! hehehe. Also, who needs to enter through the gates? Just find that shallow drainage ditch!

Hmmmm...think they fit in?????

Jeezum crow! We're gettin close to the Nats! Just wanted to let everyone know that we're in full swing on pre-production for this film and even have a few nice folks on camera now (thanks to the MVL's openess and hospitality). We're beyond excited to make this little film and really think that there's an audience for it beyond the vannin' community.

What we all do and are into is somewhat of an unknown to many folks out there... and when they see the fun, meet some of the people (via the film of course!) and see the machines, I think people will be infinitely fascinated and endeared to what vannin was and has become. The history is rich, and the vanners are really something of their own species in the automotive world (I say that that as a term of endearement). BUT, that's just the thing... the VAN is only a vessel; one that acts as a catalyst for good people, good times, and hopefully a great film.

We want to show vannin' for what it is. I'm not going to make any assumptions here on this forum as to what "that" is... I think it will present itself through the film if we do our jobs as documentarians the right way. I want to make an honest film that captures all aspects of vannin' and all those that participate. Some party hardy! Some bring their kids! Some even use vannin as a way to connect with family. So, when you see the guys with cameras, don't be shy! Show us who you are, let us know why you got into vannin. Let's show the world how much fun we / you all have with these antiquated automotive beasts of yore. Can't wait to meet some of you guys in person. Thanks for the support so far.

PS: PLEASE let me know if anyone has questions or suggestions. We're new to the vannin' world, but hopefully after all this, we'll no longer be stragers.

Can't wait to see it,Only wish I could make the Nats this year

Well! Here we go. The next two days are all about packing up! See you guys up there on Weds at 10:00am. We'll be there right in time for the opening ceremonies I'm hoping. We'll be the ones with the cameras. Don't be shy. Hope to talk to some of you folks there. Thanks to anyone who's been following this and showed any interest. Safe travels and, as always, Bramble On!

Back from the 40th Nats! What an awesome time. Met so many great folks. Got a lot of them on film. Missed a lot too. Me and my buddies kept commenting on how we could have used another week to cover everything that was there and get everyone on camera that we wantd to. Just wanted to use this board here to thank anyone who was kind enough to talk to us and share their stories of how they got into vannin and what it all means to them. We got a TON of footage as we really didn't stop shooting from Day 1 till the end... and somewhere in there we managed to have a great time as well. We're extremely excited to get to work on this film and see it shape up in the editing. I really think that vannin' is something special... and in all honesty, something of the likes I've never seen before. I truly hope our film conveys even a shred of the brotherhood, family, fun, wild party, hard work, friendship, commraderie, and much more that vannin is. Stay tuned on this thread for updates as we get to work on it. It's going to take some time, but WE WILL make a film out of this... unlike others I've heard about. In fact, I'm not in any position to spend the time and effort that this took on our ends and do nothing with it. So with that said, bramble on and stay tuned!

I didn't get to make it this,But I'm sure looking forward to seeing this

Hey All. Had a lot of folks at the Nats ask me where they could find out about the film and all that good stuff. Here's a link to our facebook page we made. We'll be using it (and the forums here) to update people on all things "Vannin" film related. We will also have a website for the flick in the not too distant future... we already purchased the domain name and all that crap. Stay tuned and bramble on. See some of you this weekend at the Ace Of Spade picnic.
