A message from Corbin Bernsen - Actor, Producer, Director & Writer of 25 Hill.

Welcome everyone to what may be one of the most exciting and challenging film projects I’ve ever undertaken. While we have a great movie to make, I remain equally excited about bringing much needed attention to the All American Soap Box Derby.
This fantastic tradition has been with us for 75 years and is on the brink of extinction. We can’t let that happen. It’s not just a sport we are saving, but a way of life. It is about fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, brothers and sisters all coming together for the common purpose of spirited competition. It is about community and rooted in innovation.
The fact is, we are too young of a country to abandon what little traditions we have left. We must preserve our past. We must understand it and nurture it to guarantee our future. I firmly believe that many of the woes that we face today are a direct result of our abandoning the very simple ideas of faith, family and community. The Soap Box Derby takes us back to a time, yes, perhaps “better days,” where we still honored those simple notions that we now take for granted.
I urge you to help me explore our past through the film 25 Hill. Yes, we will make a fantastic film, but whether or not we can “Save the Derby, Save the Tradition,” is up to each of us.
Enjoy the ride!
Corbin
