The Ataxian

I saw this film at a private screening in Seattle. What a treat to be one of the first groups to see this incredible work.

The production,the cinematography and the music are exceptional. The film tells the story well of the journey undertaken by a team of athletes.

If you get the chance to see The Ataxian, you should not miss it. It will make you smile, feel intense emotion for the challenges some young people face.

Most of all it will fill your heart with love and hope.

I can't wait for this film to hit the big screen and be available for the world to see.

just plain beautiful!

I saw this movie in Athens, GA in a small cinema called Cine'. I went to the cinema not knowing what to expect. This movie was wonderful. I gives you an inside look at the life of people with a debilitating disease called Friedrich's Ataxia. The main character in the film suffers from this disease, but wanted to "make his mark" on the world and set out to assemble a team to attempt a daring bike ride. His goal is to raise awareness of this rare disease and to help raise funds for research. This movie made me laugh at times and I also cried. I felt a full range of emotions. Leaving the cinema, the film left me inspired and wanting to "make my mark" as well. This film is a must see. It is a 10 of 10.

Awesome and inspiring movie. Had the chance to meet Kyle and Sean and they are as cool, funny, well spoken, positive, crazy and inspiring in real life as they are on camera. Ten years after this ride, they are still cycling and working to increase awareness of FA. Highly recommend!

Zack Bennett, Kevin Schlanser have made a movie that has nailed what a documentary should be. This film allows Kyle Bryant to get his message out in such a thought provoking and informative way. Ken Burns has nothing on these guys. To steal a quote "The cinematography and unforgettable storytelling warms my heart", the music raised my spirit, the scenery took my breath away. I was truly inspired by the courage of Sean Baumstark , John Lockwood (one funny guy),and Mike Mellot you are my hero's. I will be on the next ride for FA. Now if Public Television had any conscience they would pick this documentary up in a heartbeat and help Kyle get his message to the masses.

What a great movie. Inspirational and motivational. When God gives you lemons, make lemonade.
