The World’s Fastest is a documentary currently in production by director/photographer Alexandra Lier and producer Laia Gonzalez. If the name Alexandra Lier sounds familiar to you, that’s because she’s one of the world’s foremost land speed record photographers, and the creator of the books Speedseekers and The World’s Fastest Place.
Alexandra has been travelling to the Bonneville Salt Flats every season since 1999 to document the men, women, and machines that make it one of the holiest sites in the world of motor sport. Many people are concerned that not enough is being done to capture the stories and history of people in the land speed record fraternity, so a film like this will see broad support from both inside and outside the noxiously tight-knit Bonneville club.
