Biking Rules
No Comment // Written on Nov 20, 2009 // Film, cinematography, photographyShare The Streets: Lighten Up! was chosen to screen at the Biking Rules PSA Festival premiering November 17th, 2009 at BAMcinématek.
The short was photographed with a point and shoot camera, and finished with titles and music in After Effects.
Along with the short to promote bicycle safety a selection of my photographs was also featured at the festival.

I was inspired to share my filmmaking with a cause that promotes better living in my city. The music is NIN Ghosts 29 IV.
The event was really great. It’s both humbling and exhilarating to see your images so big.
I was impressed at the quality and creativity of the work presented. I sincerely hope that it will happen again next year.
Inspired by the theme of biking life in the city, I will continue to post pictures on flickr as possibly the start of a longer series,
Over 80 artists submited new and creative images, documentaries, narratives and animations that promote safe, civic-minded cycling as part of T.A.’s Biking Rules campaign. Come see the premiere of jury-selected PSA entries at BAMCinematek. The evening will include prizes and a special reception afterward with free beer courtesy of the Brooklyn Brewery. http://bikingrules.org/
