Hitting The Apex
Documents MotoGP mania

Director: Mark Neale
Narrated by: Brad Pitt

Celebrating the sport of motorcycle racing, the Zen House Motorcycle Shop in Point Arena will be hosting a special screening of Mark Neale’s documentary “Hitting The Apex,” at Arena Theater on Sunday, June 25, at 2 p.m., doors open at 1:30 p.m. and tickets are $10.

Narrated and produced by Brad Pitt, the 2015 film traces six of the fastest motorcycle racers in the history of MotoGP, Valentino Rossi, Jorge Lorenzo, Marc Marquez, Dani Pedrosa, Marco Simoncelli and Casey Stoner, documenting the fates that awaited them at the peak of the sport. It’s the story of what can be won and all that can be lost when chasing glory at over two hundred miles an hour on a motorcycle, and the “result is a masterwork of motorsports filmmaking, a lushly shot love letter to the racers on the MotoGP circuit and a nail-chewing drama about the men and the machines fighting for the world championship,” wrote Charles Fleming of the LA Times.

“All MotoGP fans are encouraged to ride the incredible twisty roads that lead to Point Arena, visit the shop, then enjoy this epic film,” says Zen House owner and event organizer Kelley Litle. “If you’ve already seen the film, you know you want to see it in a theater on the big screen. The film will deepen your love of this amazing sport.” The screening is open to the public and motorcycle fans of all ages. For additional info visit TheZenHouse.net
