FILM MAKERS
Jacqui Carriere recently graduated with a B.A. Film degree from Emerson College, specializing in directing and cinematography with a minor in Psychology. As demonstrated in Two-stroked: A Love Story, Jacqui enjoys approaching filmmaking as a Gonzo storyteller, immersing herself completely in the environments, lifestyles, and behaviors of her subjects in order to tell truly honest and personal stories with a unique voice that reflects her own collection of social criticisms on the world around her. Jacqui fell in love with mopeds over the summer of 2014, prompting her to pursue her passion project of Two-stroked: A Love Story — where she served as director, DP, co-editor, and co-producer. She is looking forward to pursuing more music-based projects as well as docu-narratives and documentaries in the near future, mastering DaVinci Resolve in her spare time, continuing to shoot what she loves, and hopes to someday upgrade from a Puch Maxi to a Triumph Bonneville.
SUMMARY
Two-Stroked: A Love Story is a short documentary that looks to capture the romantic nature of the moped subculture, focusing specifically on a ragtag group of friends apart of the moped community in Boston and the special relationships they share with their not-so-trusty steeds.
The film aims to shed light on the sometimes quirky, most times unconventional love/hate relationship between the moped and its rider. Though it seems the trials and tribulations of owning and maintaining an antiquated franken-vehicle outweigh the good, there’s a particular ‘feeling’ that keeps Jacqui, Lucian and the guys at Lucky 2 Strokes going moped strong. Two-stroked: A Love Story explores the meaning of that special feeling as love: the love of antique vehicles, the love of basic motor mechanics and its accompanying grit and grime, the love of wrenching with friends, the love of long rides with nowhere to go, and the love of the pure freedom one gets with a tank of gas and a 50cc engine.

Director: Jay Cagney
Producer: Ryan Stiles
Producer: Jay Cagney
Key Cast: Virginia Hall
FILM MAKERS
Jay Cagney: “I started creating media as a way to share the things I am most passionate about with others. That includes activities like BMX/MTB, skateboarding, snowboarding, motorcycles, and really anything that includes being outside. I worked with Original Skateboards for 6 years creating media for their marketing all over the world and when I left in 2016 I was head of the video department. Since then I have been working freelance which has involved a lot of traveling and great memories. I have also recently relocated from the east coast to Denver.”
SUMMARY
Over the past year, I’ve documented Virginia’s creation of this motorcycle. The bike started as a stock ’96 XL1200c, and through many hours of late nights, dirty fingernails and torn gloves, Virginia was able to complete the bike you see her riding today. The bike above covers about 6 months of building from January to June of 2015. Because neither of us had a lot of experience building motorcycles, we pulled knowledge and advice from the people around us, and through lots information online. We’re both happy to see the bike complete, and even more happy to present to you our journey through it.

FILM MAKERS
Director Mladen Kovacevic is no stranger to discovering rare and old occupations that are specific to the Balkans, mostly Serbia. His previous documentary ‘Unplugged’ is a story about an almost forgotten nature play with nature, about ways of the folk, of playing the leaves in a Serbian rural area. It’s another must-see, full of scenic depictions of nature in Serbia and an exploration of a long forgotten, often deemed-irrelevant knowledge.
SUMMARY
She spends her life defying gravity on a vertical road with no beginning or end. Where she has nothing to hope for, and where injury and death await. She has only her memories.
When she was just 10 years old, Brankica was the central attraction at country-fairs. Her big brothers were star acrobats, legends in former Yugoslavia, and she was the princess on the wall. Now, her brothers are long gone, she is the only one left behind. A 43-year-old grandmother of six grandchildren, she is repeating the same old stunts on her motorcycle while riding on the sidewalls of the 6 meters wide wooden barrel. She lingers between her melancholic memories and the claustrophobic existence around the last remaining wall of death in the Balkans.
