SHOWREEL MMXI | THE WARNING

Posted on by

Stephen Brooks dropped his “Showreel” this weekend, which touches on some of his works in and around the drifting circuits, & car shoots that he’s been attending. Stephen is a modern day visionary when it comes to filming drift, he has a knack for tapping into certain filming styles that we dont ordinarily see. We were lucky to have him at the Wall NJ event this summer with Gardella Racing, where he filmed what we would consider one of the most spectacular edits of 2011, “Drifting The Guantlet”
