New Film “Fast Friday” Trailer!

Tuesday, March 17th, 2009

fastfridaycover

Here is the trailer for the new film “Fast Friday” now available on IndieFlix.com.  Click the poster above to purchase the DVD or stream on your computer!

Film Description

Director David Rowe documents the emergence of the prolific track bike scene in Seattle Washington. Started by Cadence Clothing founder and fixed-gear rider Dustin Klein, the monthly cycling event known as “Fast Friday” has grown into a showcase of today’s most talented riders.

Director’s Statement

Faced with creating a story out of 30 hours of aimless footage I nearly gave up, until I decided to focus on the event’s ability to bring people together, instead of telling individual stories of the participants. If I could do it all again I would absolutely focus more on the riders involved to tell a far more interesting tale. Nevertheless I did what I could to create an accurate portrayal of the event that has brought so many cyclists together. This movie has been my real life film school. I’ve learned a thousand things along the way, and would have done everything different if I had known what I was doing in the beginning, having never edited anything longer than 3 minutes before this, I am quite self -conscious of showing my first effort. I feel like a child whose finger paintings are getting their first gallery exhibit. In the end, if I’ve made a film those involved with will enjoy, then I’ll be content, but if others outside the bicycle scene enjoy it too, then I’m one step closer to a career as a feature filmmaker.
