SYNOPSIS ³B.I.K.E.² is an exploration of the Black Label Bicycle Club (BLBC) and the wider freak bike subculture that has grown up around it. Started in Minneapolis in 1994 BLBC has inspired rival clubs and grown into an international subculture with hundreds of members worldwide. Comprised mainly of artists driven by anti-materialism and a belief that the impending apocalypse will render cars useless and bicycles in power, BLBC battles mainstream culture and rival gangs for its vision of a better tomorrow. Shot on location in New York City, Minneapolis, London, Paris, and Amsterdam. Pulling threads from Critical Mass and the wider bike counterculture, B.I.K.E. is a definitive look at the intersection of subculture, radical politics, group dynamics and personal identity. * * * * * Contact: Fredric King Producer Fountainhead Films 33 West 17th Street, New York, NY 10011 T: 212.620.3092 M: +1 917.539.8372 (in Cannes) H: E: fking(a)fountainhead.com <mailto:fking@fountainhead.com> http://www.fountainhead.com

Cannes Film Festival May 2006
by What Means Motley? 05 May '06

05 May '06

"The film's fast-paced editing is comparable to Tarantino and Guy Richie when he was good. The music is also excellent and, most importantly, the laughs come thick and fast. All in all it's a thrilling ride. An incredibly funny film " - Brian Campbell, The Irish News, 3rd March 'WHAT MEANS MOTLEY?' CAPTURED PHENOMENAL MEDIA ATTENTION WHEN OPENING THE CHICAGO IRISH FILM FESTIVAL AND PREMIERING DURING THE JAMESON DUBLIN INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL A Mell Wade Films production, 'What Means Motley?' is a unique offbeat comedy caper movie based on a true story. The film premiered a few weeks ago during the Jameson Dublin International Film Festival on 24th February and following substantial media attention, was selected to open the Chicago Irish Film Festival on 3rd March. 'What Means Motley?' was a knock-out success, screening to a full-house during both festivals and garnering glowing coverage in both the Irish and US press. "What Means Motley?' has the brilliant energy, intriguing story and cast of characters worthy of an international romp.The fact that it all actually happened makes this humorous and gripping film the perfect choice to kick off the Chicago Irish Film Festival". - Judith Blackburn, Director of the Chicago Irish Film Festival " * * *.a tall tale with real momentum and an appealing cast of supporting characters" - Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune, 3rd March "Impressive visuals from award-winning Oleg Mutu and some slick editing from Catalin Leescu" - Paul Byrne, Irish Independent "An offbeat comedy, the film has broad audience appeal" - The Star (Chicago), Kimberley Mathisen, 2nd March "Fast-moving, visually inventive film" - Andrea Gronvall, Chicago Reader, 3rd March In 1999 a party of 41 Romanians arrived at Dublin Airport, posing as a folk choir and band en route to participate in a festival in Sligo, for which their application had been accepted. After clearing passport control, some applied for asylum and the others disappeared without trace. Their visas were issued by Barry Mulligan, an Irishman who runs an advertising agency in Bucharest and acted as Ireland's honorary consul. Now he's scripted an offbeat comedy caper based on this story, lacing it with zany Oirishness and frenzied gypsy music. John Ford meets Emir Kusturica. A Mell Wade Films production shot on location in Ireland and Romania, 'What Means Motley?' is executive produced by Rod Weinberg and Andrew Stear. The film is produced by John Ketchum, John Riley, (who also direct), Barry Mulligan and Dave Duce. Rod Weinberg, Executive Producer, will be in Cannes from 16-23 May 2006. If you would like to meet up to discuss distribution opportunities in select territories, please contact us on the numbers below.
