Sjaak The World

On October 1, the premiere of Sjaak the World went down at the Screenland Armour. The film, directed by Brandon Green, tells the tale of Sjaak Lucassen and his travels around the world. I'm so glad I got to help out on this project by photographing the event. I met a lot of really great people and it was amazing getting to meet/hangout with Sjaak and his crew. Thank you Vickie Rocco and Brandon Green for bringing me on to this project!


"Sjaak the World" documents one man living his dream while logging 154,568 miles through 75 countries on his motorcycle. The journey took over 5 years, and unlike other adventure motorcyclists, he traveled alone without chase cars or emergency assistance around every corner.

Extreme terrain was encountered and overcome through resilience, ingenuity and patience - from the deep mud of the Congo to the endless sands of the Sahara and the muddy waters of the Nile.

Why is this story different?

It's different because this isn't just a story of a man and his motorcycle, it's the story of a man and his dream. The story of how one man chose to live a fully engaged life, and the choices he had to make along the way.

Truly this is the story about the journey we all SHOULD take...the search for the road to follow our HEART and live our dreams.

This is the story of Sjaak Lucassen."--(Excerpt from Web)

I have a really good idea who "ANON" is due to the lingo - but since he said nice things I won't bust him for not adding his name.... In all likelihood he just didn't know how.
