October 26, 2024 3:00 PM
Adaptation follows a group of wheelchair bound athletes as they converge in British Columbia, Canada for the BC Summer Race Series. The World’s first downhill mountain bike race series to include an adaptive mountain bike (aMTB) category. However Adaptation is not just a film about a race, it's a group of stories about the human race and ones ability to overcome adversity. Whether for the thrill of competition, or a need to push through the pain of daily life to simply get lost in a moment. The film seeks to inspire the uninspired, and educate the uneducated. To celebrate the gift of life, love, and friendship through all its complexities.
Jake Thomas was born in Hamilton Ontario Canada. He studied recorded music production in college and also graduated with a degree in film. Jake began producing action sport videos at an early age which lead to the incorporation of Riley Lake Productions Inc. in 1997. Over the years Jake has honed his skills as a producer, director, cinematographer, drone pilot and editor on countless projects for film and television. During the winter of 2017, Jake suffered a life altering spinal cord injury which left him without the use of his legs. While this sudden change in mobility altered his trajectory, it did not impact his creativity. It just brought him a little closer to the ground for a great dolly shot.
