- the film will be a feature-length documentary about the Grand National and, specifically, how a car born of such undistinguished circumstances became one of the fastest production vehicles in the world in the late 1980's.

And a bit about my goals/objectives while at the GS Nationals:

- filming Grand Nationals on the track and witnessing their speed.

- filming in the vendor areas, to see how the Grand National community sustains these 20+ year-old cars.

- filming the car show, both to see pristine examples of individual Grand Nationals and also to meet dedicated owners.

- interviewing GN owners, suppliers, and fans, to learn what makes the GN special and why it continues to hold people's attention.

- also, to help set context, capturing the sights, sounds, and overall spirit of the GS Nationals.

I hope this is what you were looking for but, if not, please let me know and I'll put together some additional text.

Also, please feel free to go to my website and copy-and-paste any of the text and/or links that you think are appropriate. My website is

(1) film marketing: The documentary will first be submitted to national and international film festivals. Later, private screenings will be offered to relevant car clubs and owners' groups. Commercial distribution opportunities will also be sought via television broadcast and DVD/online film sales.

(2) the role of the GS Nationals footage: the footage I gather at the event will not necessarily be the foundation of the documentary, since there will be: scenes with owners at their homes; scenes at car museums and historical archives; interviews with auto journalists, designers, engineers, and historians; and historical videos and photographs collected from official General Motors archives. However, the GS Nationals will likely be the only large-scale event in the film and will represent the vibrant and vital community surrounding Buick and, especially, the Grand National.
