FILM MAKERS
An award winning director and cinematographer Stephen Marino got his start by filming his friend’s skateboard in their hometown in the suburbs of New York City. He lives and works in New York City as a professional director and filmmaker. Drop him off anywhere with some wheels and a camera and he’s a happy camper.
SUMMARY
Once upon a time, on a cold day in March, a group of men known as the “Crazy Eights” crossed their American borders in search of an even colder climate in the ‘Great White North’.
It was in Sault Ste. Marie, Canada that their icy, snow-covered tires finally came to a halt. A forgotten land that once provided great trade between these two countries during their industrial revolutions—now a vast, almost-wasteland of buildings left behind; lost in time…
That is, until the Crazy Eights laid their eyes and wheels upon it! Once again, this land was looked upon with great hope and promise. Hungry and wild-eyed, they set their appetites for that ever-lingering taste of speed.

Avant Garde film, François Truffaut would be proud.
How about a soundtrack with Eddie Clean Head Vinson ( ” with the stuff I use, I don’t need no hair at all”), and a voice over with a selection form “Mexico City Blues”. More period appropriate.
Nice little flick. It’s always good to be reminded of the goofy side of motorcycling-lest we take ourselves too seriously.But where are the Indians? Indians are goofier than Harleys. But-John Coltrane and Robt. Frost? I think not.
Beautiful film….a joy to watch! Steve
