Hi Claus,
I am excited to offer to you the opportunity for the international rights within your region for B.I.K.E.
B.I.K.E. premiered this year at Slamdance and has achieved much critical success; I’ve attached a few of our most recent articles. The film continues to play at festivals in the United States with sold out screenings. I invite you to view our 4-minute trailer online at http://www.bike-films.com.
I will be in Cannes from the 19th May - 23rd May, if you would like to set
up a meeting to receive a DVD and press kit. Or you can contact me via
email or at my New York studio number below.
All My Best

SYNOPSIS
“B.I.K.E.” 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.
