One Fast Move director Kelly Blatz on working with KJ Apa and Eric Dane
"One Fast Move is an action-adventure thrill ride about a down-on-his-luck young man who seeks out his estranged father to help him pursue his dream of becoming a professional motorcycle racer," the synopsis reads. "With the help of his small-town love interest and a motorcycle shop owner who serves as his mentor, he begins to break down the walls built by his father's absence."
Tyler Treese: One aspect that really impressed me was the genuine love One Fast Move has for racing. There are references to Tail of the Dragon. There is a real respect for motorcycles and the community around them. I know you are very passionate about motorcycles, so what was it like to combine your two loves of film and motorcycles into one awesome project?
Kelly Blatz: It was a dream come true to combine the two. I mean, that’s where this movie came from. Motorcycles came late in my life. It came in my late 20s, and it was really at a time when I needed them, and I didn’t know it. It was a form of meditation for me. It was a challenge. It was part of my identity at that point.
