Premis Ind. - The Factory DVD
(2/24/2009) - Following the season of five Can-Am Factory Pro ATV Motocross racers is the theme of Premis Industries “The Factory”. The crew from Premis captures Can-Am’s Sage Baker, Cody Miller, Jeremy Lawson, Greg Gee and John Natalie both on the track and behind the scenes as the film unfolds during its 85 minutes.

The film is very different from others as it focuses on the lifestyle and career of the featured ATV racers. In between segments, riding is featured and gives everyone a good look at the racer’s home turf. Fun and work are revealed as interviews flow in and out of the film as each rider is interviewed along with crew members and family. While you won’t find non stop action, that isn’t what this one is about, but if you want an over the shoulder look at the life of a factory ATV racer, then you’re in for a treat.

Opening with a mix of interviews and motocross racing action, you get to feel what it looks and sounds like as the racers and crew chat trackside as racing action takes over, making you really feel like you’re getting the whole picture. The movie rolls in this fashion throughout and you will get your fill of slow motion and low angle film footage.

The cool part is that while you’re watching the action, sound clips from the crew is overplayed and gives added realism. After race interviews with crew and racers also tie in the whole “You’re looking over their shoulder” feel. Recap of the racing is great as the racers spill the beans on the mistakes of others and mechanical issues that plaque everyone.

Premis goes behind the scene and away from the track to where all the work takes place by visiting Can-Am / Warnert Racing's Shop in Minnesota

The film does a great job of following these talented young racers. Also, you get a full tour of the Warnert Racing shop and you get to hear from the men in charge of the team talk about the racers, machines and what it takes to field a pro race team. This kind of insight brought to film is what many aspiring young ATV racers long for, and “The Factory” delivers. No other medium I know of can capture it all, but this one comes close.

It is refreshing changes form the typical thrash metal, freestyle filled movies that have been the trend for many years, and maybe that is a sign of where our sport has gone. While the music in this film won’t have you banging your head, you can look past it as the content heads in a new direction. The slow motion gets old as it does in most any film; however some cool angles are captured and look great as the roost flies.

In depth interviews with the racers are spread through out the DVD along with some of conversations between the mechanics & the racers, which provides a whole new view that most people never get to see even when they attend the races

Overall, the movie was quite good,. I think for many that don’t travel to the AMA Pro ATV Motocross National events will get to see and hear things they haven’t before. Even for those that attend the races, there is some things that might be new to you as well.

I did not see any of the heartaches that I know occurred, or any of the frustration that always arises at this level. The film did tell the story it set out to do, but I want more! I guess that’s the mark of a good film, they leave you wanting part 2.
