I, SUPERBIKER set for premiere
‘I, SUPERBIKER’, the no-holds barred full length motorcycling documentary film, will be presented in a special screening at 30 cinemas across the UK on Monday 14th March 2011, with a London premiere on Thursday 10th March.
The film, distributed by Arts Alliance Media, in association with the British Superbike Championship and MCN, intimately follows the great British hope, Tommy Hill, whose parents have sacrificed their home, holidays and finances to support his burning ambition to be Britain’s number one superbike racer.
“British Superbikes is motorcycle racing at its very best and this film shows that brilliantly, said Hill.
“It’s amazing to see BSB on the cinema screen. It’s a massive sport with a great following – now hopefully people who don’t know it that well can see what an incredible event it is”.
Alongside Hill, ‘I,Superbiker’ is a revealing portrait of the highs and lows of fellow racers, James Ellison, Josh Brookes and Gary Mason, riding through torturous conditions and risking life and limb at every race meeting. Motorcycle fans and thrill seekers alike will be able to experience the gladiatorial speed, strength and tenacity of the riders as they battle their way through the dramatic 2010 BSB Championship.
As well as capturing stunning on-track action, the film goes behind the scenes to follow the unfolding drama among wives, girlfriends, teammates and managers. Everyone wants their rider to win and passions are aroused when things go wrong.
“I wanted to capture the emotion and passion of motorcycle racing – a classic motorcycle racing film that might be set in the 2010 season but can still be fresh in years to come,” claimed writer, producer and director Mark Sloper of 400 TV. “I also wanted it to appeal to people outside of the motorcycle industry and fan-base. And I wanted to try and change outsiders’ perceptions of motorcycling”.
Arts Alliance Media’s VP of Alternative Content, Elizabeth Draper remarked, “We are thrilled to being adding ‘I Superbiker’ to our successful portfolio of sporting releases, creating a scintillating theatrical experience for cinemagoers, both dedicated motorcycling fans and anyone who appreciates an awe-inspiring story”.
