Key Cast: Hugh Mackie, Joshua Mackenzie, Fumi Matsueda, Oliver Meechan
FILM MAKERS
Ezekiel Victor is a filmmaker from Asheville, currently splitting his time between there and Brooklyn. His Uncle used to own the motel and gas station at Deals Gap so some of my oldest memories are seeing bikes race up the hill at the entrance of the Dragon. His second birthday party was even motorcycle themed, giving motorcycles a very personal place in his heart.
The short film 'Sixth Street Specials' will premier at Kustom Kulture Fest, August 23-25 in Brooklyn, NY.
SUMMARY
I met Hugh in 2022 and fell in love with Sixth Street Specials. The Triumph sign, the parts, all the pictures and of course the bikes. It felt as if I was stepping into the world of On Any Sunday. I hope to share that same feeling of discovery through this project. Bruce Brown’s work alongside modern filmmakers and brands like Vahna, Rhythm, and Gimbal God have all provided a sense of freedom and peace for me over the years living in NYC. I think that’s something I hope to convey in the film as well. Hugh and his crew have been more than accommodating and generous with their time and space, I really could not ask for more, and being able to film them working day to day at the shop brought a lot of perspective and reality into what I had first experienced as a dreamlike fantasy, "working on bikes". It’s work, and I think much like a relationship, your true love is revealed in the monotony as much as the highs and lows. To me, that’s encouraging. It’s showing up, it’s getting it done and it’s not taking yourself too seriously.
Following the team to the race is when thing’s got real. Multiple people left in ambulances. There are guys over 80 years old still out there on the track, going faster sidewise than I ever have. I mean there is a 60+ year old class which to me says it all! Darryl Jakabowski, Sixth Street Racing rider (93B) even took a spill on Josh’s 1960’s brakeless Triumph. Once again, I felt like I was stepping into the world that Bruce Brown shot 50 years ago and meeting my heroes. I knew that Hugh was an incredible guy prior to the event, but you go to the races and hear nothing but admiration for him and the guys from everyone there. He’s the real deal. They’re the real deal. I am profoundly grateful to have had the opportunity to merely meet them and see a glimpse into their work and passion, let alone film it with my best friends. Which, this would not be a real project without my DP and cam op Nick Lavion, Producer and Co-editor Antonio Polito, Production Designer Luke Polihrom and Graphic Designer Haley Batson (who made a killer poster). Also, a special thanks to Yul Kim, Matthew Andreini and Demian Neufeld for supporting the project!
The film has been a dream come true for me. I hope people will watch it and get encouraged in their day to day work as much as they are about riding! Sixth Street has taught me it is those that show up everyday that make dreams come true. - Ezekiel Victor

HIDDEN AWAY AKA VOLEVO NASCONDERMI (2020)
Run Time: 2:00:00
Producer: Palomar
Director: Giorgio Diritt
Writer: Giorgio Diritti, Fredo Valla, Tania Pedroni
Key Cast: Elio Germano, Oliver Ewy, Leonardo Carrozzoi
FILM MAKERS
Antonio Ligabue (Zurich 1899 - Gualtieri 1965) was an Italian painter and sculptor, among the most important Naive Art artists of the XX century. His art is chacterized by the force of the rural world that Ligabue came from and by the instinct of his madness.
Antonio Ligabue, whose real surname is Laccabue, was born in Switzerland in Zurich December 18, 1899. Son of an Italian emigrant, he was given up for adoption to a Swiss-German family who entrusted him in turn to an Institute for difficult children from where he was expelled at sixteen. Wild, unpredictable for his relationship with the world and reality, he was considered mad all his life. Expelled in handcuffs from Switzerland on complaint by his adoptive mother, he was routed to Italy, to Gualtieri, the paternal city. He worked until 1929 on the banks of the Po river, living like a savage in the woods and floodplains. At that time he began to paint and sculpt with clay more assiduously. In 1937, 1940 and 1945 he was interned in the Psychiatric Hospital of S. Lazzaro in Reggio Emilia for his irascible and violent character and for a "manic-depressive psychosis". In 1961 official recognition finally began, with an exhibition in Rome and a large anthology in Guastalla. Following a paresis Ligabue found himself immobile in a bed, while the fame of his works began to acquire a national dimension. He died at the Carri Hospital in Gualtieri May 27, 1965.
During his entire life he was mainly considered as a madman. Now everybody knows that Antonio Ligabue was one of the greatest painters of all time.
SUMMARY
Antonio is expelled from Switzerland to Italy against his will. For years he lives in poverty in the Po floodplains, but he never gives up his passion for drawing. The story of Antonio Ligabue, a revolutionary loner in modern art.

SHE RIDES (TBD)
Run Time: TBD
Executive Producer: Sean Kelley
Producer: Rachel Lepley
Director: Gareth Maxwell Roberts
Key Cast: Moira Zinn, Addison Klink, Morgan Pillar
FILM MAKERS
Discover the groundbreaking impact of women in motorcycling with '
She Rides'. From breaking stereotypes to leading clubs and businesses, this film celebrates their resilience and innovation, shaping a future where the road knows no bounds.
In 2019 director Gareth Maxwell Roberts released the critically acclaimed award winning documentary feature film 'Oil In The Blood' about the contemporary custom motorcycle culture. He remembers “One of the most rewarding and fascinating aspects of making the film was meeting all of the inspiring women making inroads in a culture and industry that has historically been male dominated. We featured a chapter on women in motorcycling in the film, and at the time I certainly believed it was worthy of a film in its own right.” A few years later, that film is getting made. 'She Rides'.
SUMMARY
The film came into being from a chance conversation between Gareth and producer Sean Kelley of 73 Moto, and a weekend stop over In Austin, Texas by producer Rachel Lepley on her epic trip across the 48 states of the USA in 48 days on her Royal Enfield Interceptor. Conversations began with eventual associate producers Heidi Zumbrun and Kiki Azim and production was scheduled to begin in early 2024. Sarah and David Pagan joined the team and shooting commenced in February at the Mama Tried Show in Milwaukee.
They have since filmed a number of interviews in Texas and at The 1 Moto Show in Portland. To date the team has interviewed over forty women, from flat track racers to custom builders, dealership and workshop owners, show runners, photographers, influencers, adventure riders and educators. We’ve interviewed mechanics, race engineers, riding gear designers and stunt riders. Our youngest interviewee is six years old, our oldest is in her sixties. All of their stories are fascinating, illuminating, entertaining and inspiring. We plan to speak to many more women about their experiences in motorcycling. Production will continue through 2024 and into 2025 in the US and Europe, and budget permitting Asia and Japan. Gareth states “It’s a privilege to bear witness to the women’s motorcycling revolution that is changing motorcycling and ensuring it’s future”.

OUTLAW II (2024)
Run Time: 35:00
A Film By: Vincent Prat
Key Cast: Nick Ashley, Alberto Garcia Alix, Vincent Borras, et al
FILM MAKERS
“El Solitario is a Gesamtkunstwerk – a total work of art, in which the riders, their gear, their machines, their backup, the photography, and the film made of their adventures, are shaped to one vision.” - Paul D’Orleans, Cycle World
SUMMARY
Vincent Prat´s 35 minute short film was entirely shot with handheld iphone with a narrative style that aims to represent the real life, characters, settings, and events as closely as possible. Refusing effects, post-production and other technical gimmicks. Concentrating on the story and the characters at the cost of any good taste and any aesthetic considerations. Thus, our VOW OF CHASTITY!
"There's one date of the year that I can't afford to miss, and that's in June, around the Summer Solstice, a symbol that's very dear to me, because it represents renewal, my renewal.
Our Spanish friends have understood this, and without really organizing things, they know perfectly well how to unite us around San Juan. One message is all it takes, and we all arrive from the four corners of the globe, ready for a new adventure. As one of us said, the road is OK, but the track is much more exciting, and I finally understood this on our last crossing of the Iberian Peninsula. Having spent forty years exclusively on the road, I discovered the immense pleasure of enduro riding. Being inside the landscape is very different from watching it go by behind the visor, whatever the bike.
Whatever the track, the riding action is permanent, and in the word enduro, there's the notion of endurance and travel. That's what I like, so I've had a real revelation. As I write to you, preparations for a new adventure are getting underway, and I love this impatience.”

MOTORCYCLE MARY (2024)
Run Time: 22:00
Producer: Rachel Greenwald, Breakwater Studios
Director: Haley Watson
Editor: Cody Wilson
Key Cast: Mary McGee
FILM MAKERS
ESPN Films announced it has acquired the 22-minute documentary short “MOTORCYCLE MARY”, soon to become part of ESPN Films’ 30 for 30 Shorts catalog. Directed by Haley Watson (in her directorial debut), produced by Rachel Greenwald, and executive produced by two-time Oscar® winner Ben Proudfoot and seven-time Formula One World Champion, Lewis Hamilton, “MOTORCYCLE MARY” tells the untold story of legendary motorsports pioneer Mary McGee a.k.a. “Motorcycle Mary”, whose racing career spanned thirty years and saw her shatter gender norms while mastering multiple racing disciplines. The documentary short will feature stunning never-before-seen archival footage and photographs from McGee’s life.
“Mary McGee’s story is not only a testament to her incredible skills and perseverance but also an inspiration to all who dare to break barriers,” says Marsha Cooke, Vice President and Executive Producer of ESPN Films. “‘MOTORCYCLE MARY’ captures her indomitable spirit and the trailblazing legacy she leaves behind in the world of motorsports, and we’re looking forward to bringing it to ESPN audiences soon.”
SUMMARY
Born in Alaska on the eve of World War II, McGee’s early life is riddled with fear but, with her older brother Jim’s guidance, she conquers her apprehensive nature and discovers the art of composure—a skill that serves her to take on the racetrack. Following in her brother’s footsteps, her remarkable racing odyssey begins in the world of cars, where she outshines her male competitors, only to later discover her greatest sense of freedom racing motorcycles. She was the first woman to race motorcycles in the United States. Confronted by sexism and personal tragedy, Mary perseveres, pushing herself to greater and greater heights—culminating in her most hair-raising challenge: Becoming the first person ever to solo the grueling Baja 500 on a motorcycle.
“MOTORCYCLE MARY” is a production of Breakwater Studios.
“MOTORCYCLE MARY” will premiere on the big screen at the 2024 Tribeca Festival in New York where it will make its world premiere in the “Shorts: Personal Best” program on Friday, June 7th (with additional screenings June 13 and 15).
The ESPN premiere will be announced at a later date.

TWO WHEELS AND A CRANK CAMERA (2024)
Run Time: 20:35
Producer: motos e filmes produções & La Mala Suerte ediciones.
Director: Pedro Bruno Rodrigues
Writer: Marina Cianferoni
Key Cast: Marina Cianferoni, Frida (BMW R75/7)
FILM MAKERS
Pedro Bruno Rodrigues (Lisbon, Portugal), is a filmmaker finding untold stories
and recording them into documentary films. Marina Cianferoni (Florence, Italy. She lives in Spain), writer AND rider (and since 2020, an editor) likes to think that for her, the motorcycle has always been a medium with which she has mostly thought, observing life as if through the eye of a camera-car...
SUMMARY
Marina Cianferoni, motorcyclist, journalist and film enthusiast, realized that riding her
motorcycle could represent a different point of view on life and art. In this documentary, she
reveals how her old BMW and her book about motorcycles and movies set her on a different
"road" full of encounters and different experiences, that led her to create with her partner a small editorial press that publishes only books about motorcycles: La Mala Suerte Ediciones.
This film happened because of the passion of two people for the connection between
motorcycles and films. They met by chance while searching for a common ground, Pedro and
Marina join forces to produce a film with the intention to explain how a motorcycle could be
the perfect vehicle for understanding and translating the world of Art and even to realize the
most impossible dreams. Good books and old movies with a motorcycle passing through has often been the perfect representation of the 20th Century, with its mad curiosity for the progress; witnesses of the Past, Present and Future from a dynamic perspective. For Pedro it was a new subject but for Marina it was a lifetime project since everything she saw whilst riding her old bike
was..cinema. The film starts celebrating the importance of a family for sharing arts or passions with, and a passionate way to see life. It shows how an art film made such an impact on Marina’s life
and how she found people as crazy as her about this simple connection, motorcycles &
movies; people who gradually take her to a new life and a new job: an editorial press specialized in books about motorcycles. And finally, the film reveals how only true motorcyclists could deeply feel even the psychological aspects of riding a motorcycle with style and technique, and be truly faithful in writing it down or recording into frames. From this starting point there is still a lot to be done.

FILM MAKERS
God Help The Fuzz that flashes a badge on the Dirt Gang!
The timeless story of a filthy biker gang who simply want to pour beer over themselves, terrorize and rape, but mean, normal people always try to spoil their fun. This is the final film from AIP's six-year run of biker films that began in 1966 with Roger Corman's, "The Wild Angels." The Dirt Gang tells the tale of a motorcycle gang who terrorizes a film crew who are in the desert filming a western.
Jerry Jameson is best known (or unknown) as a Director for TV. His credits include Dallas, Dynasty, Walker Texas Ranger, and Murder She Wrote just to name a few. The only two films are The Dirt Gang (1972) and Bat People (1974).
SUMMARY
After a failed gas station robbery that resulted in a shot biker and torched cop car, the gang of "dirt bike gypsies" led by a silver eye-patch wearing whacko named Monk, decide to split to Mexico. Monk lost his eye in a bike crash some years ago and ever since he's been itching to mess up the guy who's responsible.
The gang rides onto a Western Movie set and proceed to wreak havoc until filming halts. The director agrees feed them in the catering tent only on the condition that they split afterwards. Soon the bikers realize that it's the perfect time to pour booze all over themselves.
A stunt man named Zeno, warns script girl Mary that there's trouble brewing. And he's not kidding because soon Monk recognizes Zeno as the dude who caused his eye to pop out! Some years back, when Zeno was riding with the gang, the two of them were in a bike duel. The brutal ritual involved opponents riding towards each other at full speed while swinging motorcycle chains.
With the entire film crew held hostage, Monk will stop at nothing to incite the peace-loving Zeno into another duel—this time to the death! Soundtrack music by the group: The Harvest.
