While in Prague for a commercial shoot, I had a day off and wanted to make something just for fun. I kept picturing a chase scene through the city’s cobblestone streets—equal parts Looney Tunes, Dr. Robotnik, and Hunter S Thompson.

A few days in, I spotted a car that looked like it had driven straight out of that vision and tried to chase down the owner on foot—but missed him.

Then, by total luck, I saw a “for sale” flyer in a shop window with a photo of what looked like the same car. It was the same guy. I reached out, asked if I could use it for a shoot, and he said yes.

The chase was on.
