from wheels to reels!

today on pedal driven i am playing two interviews i did with folks involved with bicycles and film. First, i talk to Martin Reis otherwise known as tino, who is a toronto, ontario based artist. Then we hear from Ayleen Crotty from Filmed by Bike. Talking to both of these folks was a great pleasure.

Also, wanted to announce that the bike shorts film festival is looking for entries from canadian filmmakers, particularly searching for pieces from eastern canada, so check them out and send in your bike films! we're working on having a stop of the festival tour happen here in Halifax.
