Bikers to Show Up in Support of I Ride Premiere In Long Beach 8/27

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."
