FILM MAKERS

This whole thing started, as most personal projects start I suppose, out of frustration. Back in 2012, I had just seen two fantastic short films “Solus” by Lossa Engineering and “Chabott Engineering (Shinya Kimura)” by Henrik Hansen and was simultaneously blown away how well these films were made and frustrated that there weren’t more like them.

Soon after, I found the occasional short bike film. But they tended to be much the same. About a builder, working with his hands and why he or she builds and rides the bikes they do. I could never find a video that went further back than that. I wanted to hear their story that got them there. – Cam Elkins

SUMMARY

After having moved to New York City from Norman, Oklahoma and endured public transportation for over 9 years, Kristen decided it was finally time to get back on two wheels and buy her dream bike; a Triumph Bonneville.

When that time finally came, Kristen not only found all the great things that come with riding a motorcycle, but she also rediscovered New York City in a whole new light.
