BÖIKZMÖIND is a 30 minute documentary film about riding fixed gear bikes in beautiful Bristol. The film shows the diverse cross section of riders and asks why ride bikes with no gears in a city full of hills. It also shines a light on the community and camaraderie that comes with the simple joy of riding bicycles.

This is an small excerpt from the finished film, which is now screening all over the world (boikzmoind.com/​#screenings). If there’s not a screening near you then get in touch, more than happy for the film to be seen all over the world!

The DVD version which will be accompanied by a photo book is in the works right now, and you can sign up to register your interest here: boikzmoind.com/​#preorder

The music is ‘Backwell’ by Beak>. All the music in the film is curated by Redg Weeks of Invada Records (invada.co.uk). Invada Records is the Bristol-based label set-up by Portishead’s Geoff Barrow in 2003, serving as a home for a diverse roster of artists from Thought Forms to Gonga.

We’re heading back to sunny Leicester for a week toady, part holiday, part looking after my Mum’s house while she is actually on Holiday.  I’ve got a few films that I plan on shooting and editing while I’m back, and so it’s necessary of course to pack some kit for such a task.  This is what I shall be taking with me.
