Bryan H. Carroll Captures the Heart of the Motorcycle Community (LOS ANGELES, CA) Walking West Entertainment and Gnarlynow Entertainment have completed principal photography on Why We Ride, the first feature documentary of its kind in years to explore all aspects of the motorcycling community and its riders. Project helmer and Gnarlynow founder, Bryan H. Carroll, (Public Enemies, Miami Vice, Collateral) is producing and directing along with Walking West's James Walker (Brake) as producer. Ed Kretz Jr., (AMA Hall of Fame Racer), is on board as a technical consultant. "Why We Ride is a story about the passion of motorcycle riders," Carroll commented. "From a family riding together on the sand dunes, to hundreds of choppers carving through the canyons - the bond with two-wheels is the same - it brings people together in a unique and memorable way and we wanted to share that joy with an audience." Why We Ride began production in July 2012 with filming continuing all over the country for a full year. From the deserts of California to the salt flats of Bonneville, visiting the rallies in the Midwest and beyond to Daytona, Carroll captured photography and interviews of riders and racers from all walks of life and all forms of motorcycling. With a special emphasis on the increasingly popular women, youth, and family groups of the sport, the film works to show how the motorcycle community continues to grow all around us as it's passed down from parents to their children. Why We Ride was shot with Canon's Cinema EOS C500 camera and paired with Codex's Onboard S recorder, which enabled 4K resolution at rates up to 120 fps. The package was compact and lightweight enough to be operated out the door of a speeding van or on the end of a 12 foot jib arm. Carroll concluded, "When you're averaging 30-40 setups per day on a documentary, the mobility and durability of the camera package is paramount." Why We Ride will be released later this fall. About Gnarlynow Entertainment Gnarlynow Entertainment was launched by Producer/ Director Bryan H. Carroll in 2010 as a production platform to develop and produce high-quality films that are informative, positive and entertaining. # # # Media Contact: Christine Purse (chris@ignite.bz) or Gail Laguna (gail@ignite.bz) ignite strategic communications 818.980.3472

All, I'll be brief, i'm essentially looking for a film making graduate that might be interested in making a short film documentary about a motorcycle build. I belong to a partnership of 5 motorcycle enthusiasts in Camden Town that share a workshop and reinvent vintage motorcycles. The aim of this next project is to take a Triumph Bonneville from 2008, strip it down and reinvent it... this time as a classic motorcycle. That is to say, a motorcycle with character. The workshop is located underground underneath an old artist's studio. The two people building the bike will consist of myself (Raoul) and the client (JT). Were both in our mid twenties and work full time. The idea behind the documentary is to capture drama and energy of building a custom motorcycle in the spirit of Matt Machine (). Requirement: First of all I should make it clear that the project will not be paid. As film maker you will be given total control over the film making and given full credit. It is quite simply an opportunity for you to make a unique short film. Dates available (between end of May and beginning of June 2013). If you are interested, then please drop me an email at r.mooyaart@gmail.com and we'll meet for a coffee. Looking forward to hearing from you. WE
