Jeff actually shot a film for me, summer of 1990 for the launch of Infiniti’s G20, a FWD compact sedan. I didn’t know anything about him other than his filmmaking rep and when our hired pro driver failed again and again to properly slide the FWD G20, the camera guy Jeff, asked if he could jump in with him and give him some pointers. We were all frustrated and burning film and daylight so we said yes and Jeff got in the driver’s seat and proceeded to perform these picture perfect slides across the Tehachapi desert to show the pro how to break a FWD sedan loose. We were all awe struck by his unexpected skill at sliding a car.
One of my best memories of my time in marketing.
Feels like the dawn of Petrolicious shorts. Thank you Ted Gushue and the team.
Absolutely brilliant film. Jeff is a real treasure in the automotive community and this piece wonderfully captures both his essence and enthusiasm. Well done team.
The perfect cinematic embodiment of the phrase "cars really do transport you to another place". Thanks Jeff Zwart
A beautiful portrait of an absolute legend.
This might be the best automotive documentary ever made
your FPV pilot is an absolute animal.
Luke Huxham has done it again. BRAVO
IN ZWART WE TRUST
Wow! I've lived in this parallel universe via my 88-year-old father. Airman, commercial photographer, SCCA racer, multiple Porsche owner! Taught me the joys of motorsports, traveling, putting the work into your craftsmanship. He photographed, Can-AM, IMSA, CART/IndyCar, Ringling Brothers Circus, The Smithsonian, U.S. Air Force and countless corporate work. Also published books on the Wright Brothers. Don't have the words to express how fortunate I've been to receive his love & guidance. (Yes, I now drive a '16 Cayman, flat-6 Manual. It's like a self-induced "runners high")
Absolute legend.
Beautiful film Jeff. Glad to see Jezebel and Hayden had supporting roles!
"I can't even begin to count how many times I've watched this documentary. The first time I saw it, I cried like a baby! I'm a Brazilian photographer, and I fell head over heels in love with the sense of closeness it brought to my dream reality. I have a deep passion for the car community and the thrill of driving, and this documentary is absolutely incredible."
This made me smile. Jeff was a classmate at the Art Center College of Design. I could see then the future he would have, a future well fulfilled. Kudos, Jeff!
PS You kept your 914-6 from school in pristine shape!
I couldn't be more at ease watching this. As a military pilot, I can relate to the sentiment of being gone and traveling the world constantly and looking for that peace. I've only owned a 996 but as soon as I get back to the USA I'm buying a 911SC. More inspired by this.
Super Duper, full stop. An icon for sure……wonderful.
Fantastic film, fantastic location, fantastic cars, most of all FANTASTIC MAN 👌
Brought a tear to my eye! We love you Jeff n type 7
He is just the best. What a nice film. Beautiful.
What an absolute gem, incredible film and human being.
You’re an amazing man Jeff. Thanks for all your contributions both to Motorsport but also to the automotive media world.
What an absolute honor to know the legend and live to see this work. Thank you for what you have done for not only Porsche, but all of us Jeff.
The yin and yang of life -- speed and calm.
This made my week. Wonderful.
Such a Legend
Great film Luke. You really capture a mood there. I just want to get in my car and drive! Brilliant!
Being a photographer myself I really appreciate a great film about a great man who loves his passion for life.
Very very cool! Editing is superb to match the man!
Jeff has led an exceptional life in so many ways.
Jeff Zwart the Legend 👏 fantastic storytelling!!
What a life, mixing the passions of cars, photography and nature. Great film too.
I for one can't wait for this to drop!!
Wonderful! Love this Jeff.

I got some early Petrolicious vibes as well!

Excellent short film! What a humble legend!
Great video. Super inspiring to hear Jeff talk about things. New perspective on Colorado.
Amazing ... can you make a full movie about him :)
Absolutely love it! ❤️🔥
This is some outstanding videography, wow!
Makes me miss my 914-6, that flat six behind you with weber carbs, great memories. I also had a freshened 914-4 from Dr 914, just as fun, fantastic cars. Thanks for the video.
Movies like this fill me with a happy warm glow ❤
"Thank you, Jeff, for sharing a glimpse of your career, and also congratulations to the production team, specifically Mike Koziel, for their outstanding photography work!"
The guy can just flat out do it all!
Amen to that what a jolly young man he is
This was such a good film!
What a beautiful piece of work! Sets a wonderful mood. The cars a pretty good too.
How can a channel with this production quality have so little subscribers?
Jeff is awesome. Thank you for this moment.
Excellent!

Where’s this dude live?
🤞😷🏁
👍🏿
👍
beautifully, and superbly executed. this is cinematic and not the usual YT excrement.
No way I let my 2 Labs ride in my 911....they both shed way too much.
The day of the tweed jacket enthusiast is dying.
I will wear mine to the grave.
No one cares about this anymore. It is all about instant gratification.
I can't quite figure out if you're criticizing the video or the current state of affairs. Care to elucidate?
Beautiful
