Dust2Dust 2026

While ill and experiencing some difficulty in completing the editing of this film, Brakhage was reading the Marguerite Young novel, "Miss MacIntosh, My Darling." Coming upon the following passage in her book, he found renewed energy to continue and complete the work: "Why should she give birth, though she had worked in a pottery, to an urn, to a stone angel, to the face of a cracked sundial? Why should she be, she screamed, this common clay, this tortured dust?" From "Miss MacIntosh, My Darling" by Marguerite Young... to whom this film is gratefully dedicated.

Into the Dust 2 follows the father and son duo of Larry and Tanner Janesky once again as they take on the world's longest nonstop off-road race. Their goal - to both finish the Baja 1000 race; this time - solo. Only 8 riders have ever accomplished this since the Ironman motorcycle class was established. They take on the entire 854-mile course, each by themselves, no teammates. A quest that would be the greatest challenge of their lives; they must battle fatigue, pain, injury, sleep deprivation, and the elements. The distance, conditions, and terrain are so unforgiving that only half teams make it to the finish line, and even fewer make it solo. Will they make it? Get a front-row seat as father and son dig deep and fight to make history for a second time. Get ready for the challenge of a lifetime.
