Smoke & Mirrors Theatrical Trailer from Joshua Herron on Vimeo.

Jarod DeAnda, the voice of Formula Drift has always had a dream of being a professional drifter and after a freak occurrence, he switches lives with 2009 Formula Drift champion Chris Forsberg.

Hit with this “accident” Chris then realizes the final round of the 2010 FD season is just two months away, and he has no choice but to teach Jarod how to drift.

Chris and Jarod switch bodies entirely, but the two of them can see each other for who they really are. However, the rest of the world sees them as their “host” bodies.
