David Rowe documents the emergence of the prolific track bike scene in Seattle
Intended Audience: Teen
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.
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.
