FRANKENBIKING - SHORT DOCUMENTARY

Frankenbiking is a short documentary passion project about the joy of tall bikes and the fascinating people who build and ride them. Created by filmmakers Joel Porter and Alex Moore, the film follows two key characters: Jon Thompson of TOMO Bikes and Petor Georgallou, a former frame builder known as ‘Dear Susan’ and now the director of Bespoked, Europe’s largest handmade bike show. The film delves into the world of those taking cycling to new heights - celebrating fun, silliness and creativity, whilst exploring how people react to the new and unusual.

Frankenbiking recently completed its film festival run, with 15 official selections and 5 award wins: this included Best Short Documentary at the Wales International Film Festival & Manchester Lift-Off Festival, Audience Choice Award on the Cyclist Film Festival UK Tour and Best Editor at the Emerging Talent Film Festival. From its premiere at Kendal Mountain Festival to screenings at Sheffield Adventure Film Festival and Bicycle Film Festival, we’ve been blown away by the warm reception.
 

Now that the film is publicly available online, we hope it continues to inspire riders, builders, and curious onlookers to climb a little higher - and maybe see things from a new perspective.

You can watch Frankenbiking on Amazon Prime Video in the UK and Australia and it is also available to rent or purchase in the US.
