Overland Expo Presents the Film Festival Lineup for PNW 2026

FILM: No One Falls Alone

No One Falls Alone delves into how a motorcycle trip can and will change you. It’s a story about what happens when the road strips everything away—leaving only what matters: the people riding beside you. Across Colombia’s unique and challenging terrain, strangers become brothers. Not through likes or group chats—but through breakdowns, rainforest, mud, and shared miles. This isn’t about the destination. It’s about who shows up when things get hard.

FILM: Hammer Down 6

Six years ago, we started our journey across the United States on the Transamerica Trail. The Transamerica Trail is a network of dirt and subsurface backroads, 4WD tracks and hidden gems that connect the eastern US with the West.

Our plan was atypical. Instead of driving the whole route in one stride, we opted to break it up and travel as far as we could within a week – where we stopped is where we started each year. After 5 years on the road together, we’re starting this adventure in Utah, and we’re aiming for the Idaho border.

Filmmaker: Jason Specht

Whether their powering across the country on the Trans-America Trail or leading new adventures in the Appalachian Mountains, the Mountain State Overland team is dedicated to curating the most memorable experiences on film and on the trail.

In 2016 Richard Giordano completed a 48,800-kilometer overland journey from Vancouver, Canada, to Ushuaia, Argentina, with his wife, Ashley, in their well-loved but antiquated 1990 Toyota Pickup. That trip launched Richard into a career as a photographer and freelance video producer. He has crafted commercials for Toyota Canada, is lead photographer and camera operator on Expedition Overland Apex series, and currently on the road in Central Asia. If you see Richard out in the wild, he’ll most likely have a smile on his face, a strong coffee in one hand, a camera in the other, and Ashley by his side producing the project or planning their adventure.
