The Stone Circle l Cycling Event Film
The Stone Circle is more than just a cycling event, it's a celebration of endurance, adventure and community. Sponsored by ENVE, this project was created to capture the atmosphere, emotion and challenge of riders taking on one of the UK's most iconic gravel cycling events.
As the filmmaker, my goal wasn't simply to document the day but to tell the story behind it. From the anticipation at the start line to the determination of riders on the course and the shared celebrations at the finish, every shot was designed to reflect the spirit of the event and the passion of the cycling community.
Filming an endurance cycling event requires careful planning, mobility and an understanding of the sport. Using a combination of cinematic ground footage, dynamic action sequences and authentic documentary-style storytelling, I created a film that highlighted both the scale of the event and the personal experiences of those taking part.
Based in Hove, I work with cycling brands, sports organisations and event organisers across Brighton, Sussex and the UK, producing event films, branded content and documentary-style videos that help audiences connect with the people, places and stories behind every ride.
