::1::SPECIAL RARE SCREENING ::

We used to say that Filmed by Bike happens "one night, and one night only", but then it got pretty large and we started doing multiple screenings.   Still, Filmed by Bike has remained a film fest that only comes out to play once a year.   Until now.

I've released a special outdoor screening of select Filmed by Bike films for The Night Ride, a benefit for the Bicycle Transportation Alliance.   The Night Ride is super fun. It's a late night ride featuring a route that goes through wild night life, fire jugglers, a disco party rest stop, a finish line doughnut feast, and a special stop along the way to an open field where popcorn and Filmed by Bike movies await.   

The only way to see the movies is to come on the ride! Sign up through The Night Ride's website.

::2::MAKE MOVIES ::

I've heard great movies ideas from so many of you. And trust me, now is the time to make them. The deadline is March 1, 2008, and it's going to sneak up on you much faster than you know.   Get out in the summer sun and show us what you got.

If you're looking for film crews, actors, editors and extras, let me know and I'll help you get the word out.

::3::BUY THE DVD ::

The 2006 DVDs are all sold out, but we've got 2007 DVDs for sale on our website, under the Buy the DVD link at the top.   They feature nearly all of the films screened this year plus BONUS MATERIAL.   They're selling like hotcakes and may not last long, so get one while you can. It was a cool idea that tons of you bought the 2006 as a holiday gift, but these may not still be around next December.

::4:: THANK YOU ::

There were a ton of people who helped make Filmed by Bike 2007 a roaring success. Give these guys your business and tell them it's because of their support of the festival:
Bike Gallery, Portland Mercury, Cyclotour Guidebooks, Stumptown Printers, New Belgium and Cranked Magazine. Thanks also to Flexcar for loaning a truck for the weekend and StickerGuy for our tough vinyl bike stickers.

::5:: NEWSLETTER DRAWING ::

And now...This issue's drawing is for a grab bag of awesome bikey stickers. Oh yeah!   The first e-mail message to arrive in my mailbox with a complete postal address (US or international) wins.   Send to Info@FilmedByBike.org.   Good luck.
