The Bicyclists, a new movie based on The Bicyclist webisode series, premieres tonight at the Hollywood Theater.
The entire film was shot in Portland and is steeped in local bike culture. The story revolves around Conrad Miller (played by actor Jayme S. Hall), a small-town guy from Wisconsin who moves to Portland for two months of fun before he has to return home to run the family cheese factory.
Here’s a bit more from the film’s website:
“Conrad journeys to Portland, attracted to its vibrant urban bike culture and beautiful scenery. Conrad makes valuable friendships and has a decidedly modern love affair with Steve Jones [“the prettiest bike mechanic Conrad has ever seen”]. The friends learn to love and live like never before, but this simple story reveals unexpected turns and darker elements as the sixty-day timeline counts down.”
Drama! Love! Bikes! Portland! What’s not to like?
If you want to show up to the red-carpet premiere in style, producer Sharon Jameson tells us there’s a ride from the Belligerantes’ hideout at NE 9th and Emerson that leaves at 5:30. Tonight’s screening starts at 7:00. The Hollywood Theater is located at 4122 SE Sandy Blvd.
