Chasing Red
Chasing Red is a 2015 feature documentary about the running of the bulls in Pamplona, Spain. Director Dennis Clancey followed four runners, himself, Bill Hillmann, David Ubeda and Josiah Lloyd, through the eight runs of San Fermín 2012. The film won Best of the Fest at the LA Indie Film Festival in 2015. The articles in this section are about the film itself: what the title means, how it was made, where it was shot, how an independent documentary gets paid for, and how critics and runners received it. If you are looking for the romance novel or series with the same name, this is a different Chasing Red.
