Portland to the Oregon coast, and back.

Last week my buddy Joe and I went rode our bikes to the Oregon coast. The way there was treacherous with some tough climbs and lots of rain. Fortunately the weather let up and we had a sunny day off at the beach. On the way back home we choose an easier route. The weather cooperated and all along the way we enjoyed the beauty of the pacific northwest spring.

It's been selected!

My animation entitled "rabbit" has been selected to be screened at Filmed By Bike, a local film festival dedicated to bicycles. I've been working on this animation for a month or so now and was originally planning on screening it at The Platform Animation Festival. Until, I found out about Filmed By Bike and figured I should enter both. I am still hoping to make it into Platform, but just to have it seen by a large audience is more than I could ask for. Below I've posted some info about the festival. If you're in the Portland area or just a diehard bike/carlos fan, you should come see the show.


FILMED BY BIKE
A festival of bike-themed movie shorts

Clinton Street Theater, Portland, Oregon April 13-15, 2007

Bicycle scenes from around the world will overtake the silver screen at Clinton Street Theater in Portland, Oregon for three full days of Filmed by Bike, a festival of bike-themed movie shorts.
Over 50 international movies were submitted, but only 12 will make the final cut. The festival, now in it's fifth year, runs April 13-15, 2007. The opening night extravaganza is on Friday.

OPENING NIGHT
Festivities begin on Friday night with the "Opening Night Throwdown"
extravaganza featuring drinks, a raffle and entertainment. In the mix of raffle prizes is an Electra Amsterdam, a unique Euro-style bicycle donated by the Bike Gallery. Tickets for the Amsterdam are available online in advance or on Friday night for $1.

ABOUT THE FESTIVAL
Filmed by Bike is a world-renowned film festival, but it only happens here in Portland, the bicycle capital of the U.S. From steamy stories of bicycle love to BMX trick riding, Filmed by Bike offers a small peek into the creative psyche of artists who are passionate about bicycles.
