Our mailbox flooded and an excellent selection of movies are now in for the 10th Anniversary Filmed by Bike. Several filmmakers edited while on the road (a three-year worldwide bike adventure, a trip to film bike racing in Europe…) and movies came from all over the world (Gambia, Africa; Australia; Italy).

Now it’s time for the Jury to squirrel away in a cave for the weekend to screen endless hours of bike movies and select the very best for our festival. We’ll be holed up in a secret space at Madison’s Grill (and yes, you can deliver bribes directly to the Jury – just follow our signs to find the party room). Special thanks to Madison’s Grill for hosting this screening. They love the Portland bike community and we love them.

Filmmakers, we have good news. You can relax, crack a beer, and get some sleep tonight; the deadline for entries (which was 1/20/2012) has been extended by a few days due the scheduling of our jury screening.

TIPS:

• Your preview submission can be a link to a high-res, smoothly-playing online video.
• Scholarships are still available. Please contact us for details.
• If your film is selected by the jury, you will have a couple weeks to send in your final version.
• The jury accepts bribes. No, it’s not unfair, it’s tradition.

The 2012 Filmed by Bike jury is all lined up and looking fine. These honored bike and film enthusiasts are poised and ready to select the very best movies for our 10th Anniversary festival. Submissions are flooding in and these folks certainly have their work cut out for them.

They’re also eagerly awaiting their bribes, a time-honored Filmed by Bike submission tradition. Bribes are, of course, strictly optional but not forbidden. The jury likes dark chocolate and bourbon. Just a suggestion….

Evan and Adam Nix, known as The Nix Brothers, are filmmakers and bicycle enthusiasts based in Denver, Colorado. Along with songwriter/actor, Randy Washington, they created one of the most popular videos of our 2011 festival, All You Haters (Suck My Balls).

Assisted by Auto-Tune and often dancing in front of intentionally shoddy, green-screen-assisted backgrounds, the video’s star, played by Washington, musically explains the trials of being a hated-on hipster cyclist. “The general position the song takes is supposed to both embrace and be self-deprecating about the whole hipster ideology. If you’re sensitive about being called a hipster … that makes you too concerned with image and therefore a hipster,” explains Evan. “We just think people should spend less time worrying about all of that nonsense and just go ride bikes.”

Evan, Adam and Randy continue to churn out great work to this day. The three of them perform in the faux-German parody disco group Total Ghost, for which they’ve produced a number of music videos. They also produce web comedies with various Denver comedians. To see more of their work, visit their website.

We just received The Loaded Warrior, in the mail. The piece begin with a fabulously written narrative. “In the sip of a pint, he lost everything.”

Filmmaker Joe Broemmel heard about Filmed by Bike from the flyers we put around San Francisco on our ambassadorial visit in October. We’re so glad to see that our posters, stickers and flyers are being seen in the places we visited.

Next step is for the jury to review it, but we have a stinking suspicion they’re really going to like this rough-n-tumble piece.
