BCA is excited to not only announce that Carl Battreall’s documentary Fat Bike is finished but that both the Boston Bike Film Festival (screening on Friday, October 23rd) and the Anchorage International Film Festival have selected it for screening (we will have to wait until the AIFF screening in December to see it on the big screen). Congratulations Carl!

As the Bicycles and Icicles blog notes

it’s a very nicely done piece of work from a talented photographer moving into the realm of video. With Carl’s eye for imagery and sharp editing, and a fine soundtrack from local singer and songwriter Melissa Mitchell, it’s the kind of project [we all should be] proud to see coming out of Alaska.

The film, which was held to 26 minutes in length to have a chance on the festival circuit, touches on the history and evolution of fat bikes, and the passion and commitment behind winter riding.

Fat Bike will be available for download from Amazon.com in the next few weeks. For those that must see it on the big screen – and I trust that is most of you – Carl and BCA hope Anchorage’s winter riders will pedal to the screening en masse.

For those that can’t wait, you can pick up your very own copy on Carl’s  site www.indieakfilms.com
