Bikers to Show Up in Support of "I Ride" Premiere, a Film by Daron Ker, at Art Theatre of Long Beach on Saturday, August 27
"I Ride," the latest film from
Cambodian filmmaker Daron Ker will premiere at The Art Theatre of Long
Beach on August 27, 2011. Dozens of members of the biker community are
expected at the premiere to show support for Ker's film which celebrates
biker culture.
"I Ride" is a film about the
Fryed Brothers Band, the ‘house band' for America's biker movement. For
the past 26 years, the band has headlined most of the America's premiere
biker events.
Ker spent five years following
the band after meeting them during a scouting trip to Sturgis for a
project that never materialized. Thousands of road miles later with
hours of footage, Ker fashioned the film into a lively and unpredictable
exploration of biker culture. With cameos by Willie Nelson, Oakland
Hells Angels founder Sonny Barger and Doobie Brothers vocalist/guitarist
Pat Simmons, "I Ride" offers a rare glimpse into the traditions and
strong family bonds that make up this unique slice of Americana. "I
Ride" is a tribute to their perseverance, dedication and love of all
things biker. The film is being released by FilmBuff this fall.
Ker's first film "Rice Field of
Dreams" is the story of the establishment of a professional baseball
team in Cambodia. Ker's family fled Cambodia during Pol Pot's reign in
the 1970s. He returned to the country for the first time in almost 30
years to film "Rice Field of Dreams."
