Meet the 2026 Filmmakers

Clay Porter
Sweet San Francisco

Clay Porter has spent half his life documenting mountain biking, honing a filmmaking skill set that spans virtually every aspect of production and post production. His last mountain bike film, Deathgrip, was streamed globally on Netflix for two years, the longest streaming term a core action sports film has ever been on Netflix. The film was translated into 44 different languages and was the number 1 film on iTunes during its release week in the US, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Australia. In 2009, Porter created the first-ever web series for Red Bull titled The Atherton Project, which went on to see global television syndication. In his now two-decade run as a full-time content creator, Porter has filmed campaigns for many of the world's largest brands, along with the director of photography for various global commercials. It's safe to say Clay has played a massive role in a lot of the MTB content you've seen and enjoyed over the last 20 years!

Pierre-Luc Arseneau
Where There's A Will

P-L is a Canadian filmmaker, mountain biker, and outdoor enthusiast. He mainly works as a Director of Photography on commercials and documentaries. He has worked across Canada on various projects, including HBO TV series, RedBull TV event, SuperBowl featured commercials, and Film Festival Award-winning outdoor documentaries. His background, culture, bilingualism and ability to adapt makes him a valuable Swiss army knife in the creative world. His genuine love for the craft and his personality is a true asset for many productions.

Robin Sansom
I Have It All

Robin Sansom is a filmmaker and photographer out of Santa Cruz, California. He learned how to tell stories mostly by hearing them from savory characters over a long career in the cycling and outdoor industries — tales told on road trips and around crackling campfires, or in surf lineups and those curious spots on the trail where everyone seems to take a break. In this spirit, he likes to build stories that foster intimacy, cultivate a sense of community, and illuminate the unseen.

Kevin McDevitt
Bike Short

Kevin McDevitt is the founder of Slacker Studios, producer/host of 805 Film Collective’s “The Film Lab” screening series, and an award-winning screenwriter, director, producer, editor, & distributor. Based in Ojai, California, Kevin cut his teeth directing ads and nonprofit PSAs, and had his breakthrough with the viral music video “Good Blood.” Kevin’s debut screenplay, “Hard Luck Times,” has been accepted to the Stowe Story Labs for development as an independent action-comedy feature film. Kevin is also currently touring his award-winning debut short film, "Bike Short,” which has played 27 festivals in 6 countries, winning 10 awards and filling historic venues with laughter around the world.
