Overview
Hi Everyone! My name is Michael J Henderson, and I grew up dirt bike riding in Roswell, New Mexico. I love the sport and want to share it with the world by making this film, inspired by my memories of it. But in order to get my financiers to invest, I need major stars attached. I would love fans everywhere to help support our film and donate! The money will help us lock down a talented cast to get investors on board. Connected to this project is Andrew Sugarman, an Academy Award nominee.

HERE COMES THE SUN

By Lapis Tiger

Genre: Action/Drama

Synopsis

When a devastating crash leads to a last-minute loss in a dangerous motocross race, 18-year-old MIKE DAWSOM struggles to regain his confidence and find himself again in the one sport that has ever made him feel that he is someone.  As he heads out to the blazing desert of Roswell, New Mexico, to prepare for his next race, he encounters the hot-headed and highly competitive tomboy KIM, an avid dirt bike rider determined to prove that women can ride as well as men.  Getting caught up in Kim’s antics, Mike meets her beautiful older sister JUSTINE, a talented rider searching for love but is completely oblivious to how to find it. When he finds himself inspired by Justine’s passionate drive and genuine heart, Mike starts to feel alive again… and attracts the ire of male riders traveling with Justine, including JACK, Mike’s dangerous rival who is vying for Justine’s affections and stopping at nothing to make sure Mike loses the race again!  As Kim and Justine help Mike find himself and take back the win, competition rises out on the desert, on their bikes, and in their hearts while outside forces try to break their bonds in this modern coming-of-age story about love, acceptance, and finding who you are.

The Team

Michael J. Henderson - Co-Director and Producer.  Michael J. Henderson grew up riding in the deserts of New Mexico with his family and friends, and has many fond memories of the sport (as well as important life-lessons learned).  Realizing that there hasn't been any recent feature films on this beloved sport as most focus on car racing, Michael finally decided the sport deserves a worthy attention and story that can inspire future fans to partake in.  Michael has over 30 years of producing experience and has helped groomed major actors through his management and production company, Heartrock Pictures.  His most recent film, Astro, was picked up by Sony and has already sold out at major outlets.
