Thread: "BORN 2 RACE" is out now! Available at BestBuy, WalMart, Blockbuster, and Apple TV.

  1. 03-01-2012 11:17 AM #1
    Just wanted to officially announce that as of this Tuesday, February 28th, my film "BORN 2 RACE" is out and available for sale and rental.

    *** As of March 28th, it's available on NETFLIX STREAMING with a 4/5 star rating!***

    This is a film made by "carguys" for "carguys". Me, our producer champion drag-racer Ali Afshar, my director of photography, and many others on the crew are total gearheads and did our best to make a realistic "carmovie". I promise it has a real story and solid acting. Support this film and we will bring you bigger and better racing films in the future!

    There will be German cars next time! (although I did plan on having an R32 in the film, but had a scheduling conflict)

    I've got my flamesuit ready, because comparisons to the FastnFurious are sure to surface. If you love those films, this might not be for you. If you prefer something a little more realistic, than you just might enjoy BORN 2 RACE.

    Thanks for watching!





    Here's a review I found on the "StangNet" forums that I wanted to share:



    Synopsis: After being arrested, a rebellious young LA street-racer is sent off to a small town to live with his estranged father, a washed up NASCAR racer. When he decides to enter the NHRA High School Drags, he's forced to seek his father's help in taking down the local hotshot.

    Hmmm... Make sure you you type "Born 2 Race" not "Born to Race". If it's not there, you can get it on Netflix in a couple of weeks.

    Tried all variations. I even tried amazon.ca. They only have the DVD not the blu ray. Any chance I could buy one off you?

    Canadian Netflix is unfortunately much worse than the US Netflix. I doubt we would see it at all...

    The blu-ray is exclusive at Best Buy at the moment. Can you just order it from BestBuy.com?

    It was impounded and crushed. The disc spun too fast, nay, recklessly.

    For anyone still on the fence about checking it out, here's a review from BLU-RAY.COM:

    http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Born-t.../35406/#Review

    Should be on Netflix in a couple of weeks.

    Been checking Netflix, but don't see it yet.

    I watched most of it when it had been leaked on YouTube (yes, shame on me), but didn't see the final 20 minutes so I'm looking forward to finding out how it wraps up.
    Where are we going and why am I in this handbasket?

    I know. Not sure what's up with that. Should be hearing from my producers about it. Let you know what I find out.

    What's up with that is that Netflix totally sucks when it comes to getting new content added. I'm quickly running out of stuff to watch on there.

    Hope it's up sooner rather than later.

    Nice. I randomly found this trailer back a while ago, will definitely see it when its available. Question, if its bad can I punch you in the throat? . Seriously though, being that our feedback can actually be heard by someone who matters, should we express our feelings in here once we're done watching the film?

    Btw, congrats .

    The throat's a bit much, but a good ol' punch to the face is understandable if you don't like it

    Yeah, please feel free to give me constructive feedback. I'm the film's greatest critic so you won't be telling me anything new.

    I do hope everyone appreciates that we try to make the car talk as real as possible while still making it palatable for a broader audience.

    Btw, pretty sweet that your movie is stuck right between 2 phenomenal blockbusters on best buys rack .

    Liked how it wrapped up.

    Canadian Netflix drops the ball again. Is this movie just impossible to watch in Canada?
