"As long as I was able to hold my foot down longer than the guy next door to me... That's what anybody looked at." The Orchard has released an official trailer for the documentary Hurley, from producer Derek Dodge making his directorial debut, arriving on VOD later this month.

Indie distributor The Orchard finished first in the hunt for North American rights to “Hurley,” a documentary about a queer race car driver who kept his sexuality a secret over much of his lengthy career.
Directed by Derek Dodge and executive produced by “Grey’s Anatomy” star Patrick Dempsey, the doc premiered at the Inside Out Lgbt Film Festival earlier this year and will hit theaters sometime in 2019.
“Hurley” follows Hurley Haywood, a successful endurance sports car racing driver who hid his homosexuality in a culture of toxic masculinity amid the bravado of auto sports.
