Inspired by classic car movies like the orignal GONE in 60 SECONDS, TWO LANE BLACKTOP, GRAND PRIX, BULLITT and LeMANS, actor/ racer turned independent filmmaker Jay Rowlands set out to bring gearheads more of what they really want to see in the movies- real cars, real drivers and real action.

The movie CLUTCH is a full length dramatic action film (16mm color) telling the story of a struggling small town racer who finds out there are no short cuts to victory lane.  Race driver Travis Brewster risks his life, friends and freedom when he takes a wrong turn in his attempts to support his racing.  CLUTCH is a full throttle effort to tell a story about the truth and integrity of basic humanity while combining the elements of action, romance, comedy and human emotion.

Filmed entirely in the Pacific Northwest, this movie has been produced independently outside the "Hollywood" system by Jay Rowlands and created with people who share his passion for fast cars and making movies.
