Moab's Next Mountain Biking Film
Coming Fall 2024
YOU KNOW THE NAME.
DO YOU KNOW THE STORY?
When Kenny Gorham arrived in Moab, Utah to work as a cashier at a bike shop his only goals were to ride bikes and have fun. Just a few years later he established the town's only trailhead bike rental business and guiding service- Bighorn Mountainbiking.
But he's not the only person to take a leap in this remote desert.
For thousands of years, the Moab Valley has been a place where humans thrive, explore, and grow. The illustration of this has evolved, but the root of our ambition remains the same- we desire to choose our own path through life.
Call Me Moab will take you on a journey through time, showing the origin story of Kenny's against-the-grain business, while at the same time revealing that the trail he has chosen is not completely unlike those who have come before him.
"The only way that luck is going to be in your favor is
if you are willing and able..."
-KENNY GORHAM, OWNER OF BIGHORN MOUNTAIN BIKING
MEET THE FILMMAKER
When you watch the film, I hope it makes you reflect.
Wherever you're at in life, there were choices that led you here, and there are choices you are making right now that will take you somewhere else. Sometimes that process takes years.
Kenny and I were friends before he had a business and before I knew how to operate a camera. This film is an origin story for both of us. When I hit record for the first time in winter of 2019, neither of us knew how deep this journey would go.
I eventually left Moab and guiding to pursue other opportunities in film, but continually returned, season after season, capturing the conversations, connections, and events that create this inspiring story.
The van you see was once my home here, but now its an office in the desert. I show up, putting in the effort to chase a goal with no guarantee it will become anything of significance. This is what makes life exciting.
