FABRIC BIKE!

Earlier this month, Cannibal Vixen,  Snow White & myself made the long drive (with bicycles in tow) to New York City for the 12th Bicycle Film Festival. As always it was great to spend some time in a city we love so much & were reminded that it's been a year since our film FABRIC BIKE debuted there last summer. So we decided it was time to release it to the clutches of the internet.

FABRIC BIKE was so much fun to make, and the response we've had worldwide this year has been so lovely & overwhelming. We hope that this is one in a series of many creative shorts to come out of our little collective. So thanks again & enjoy.

BIKE FILM FEST 2011 ACCEPTANCE!

So we were really excited to get a call from Brendt Barbur, founder of the International Bicycle Film Festival, telling us that our short film FABRIC BIKE has been accepted into the BFF's Shorts Program for 2011.

Stay tuned for more information regarding the film's premiere in New York City this June... as well as all the other cities it will be playing in!

But really now, how could they say no to a dvd submission with fringe?! Thanks BFF!

TOP SECRET REVEAL: FABRIC BIKE!

It's time. The top secret project will be secret no longer.

Over the past 3 months, the Deadly Nightshades have come together on a project that combines our love of fashion, art and cycling. Documenting our process step by step, we've created our ultimate bike out of unconventional materials - to scale, 3D and down to the tiniest detail. So, after hours of sewing, constructing, screen printing, problem solving, filming & editing - we reveal our top secret project, a sneak peek the bike that has (literally) taken over our lives, and present the trailer for our short film FABRIC BIKE.

And in true DNS fashion, at the 11th hour, we're submitting it to the Bicycle Film Festival's shorts category. So wish us luck!

TRIPLE HITTER.

Big weekend! We celebrated the birth of Cannibal Vixen (for days on end), Meg-OH! returned to Toronto...... AND we completed stage 1 of 2 on our top secret project!!!!

Obviously this called for some Bambino behind the Make Den in celebration.

All we were missing was Namtron. xoxo ladies.

TOP SECRET FAIL.

do you know what's the worst?

1. Staying at the studio allll day & waaay too late.

2. Paying subway fare through the turnstyle entrance to go home.

3. Missing the last train of the night.

4. Begging for an "emergency transfer" for the night bus that never runs.

5. Waiting in the cold for the bus.

6. ....THEN REMEMBERING YOU BIKED OVER TO THE STUDIO THAT MORNING, and your bike is locked up right beside you.

FAIL.

7. Then just deciding to go back the to studio and work more. Thus, a late night became an all nighter.

But in good news.... THE TOP SECRET DNS PROJECT IS ALMOST DONE! Big reveal in two weeks? You betcha.

Shhhh.... Top Secret DNS project at The Make Den. Happening Now.

Ooooh.... don't you just love secrets?! We do. We love keeping them too - which is why you won't find out today (or tomorrow) what the latest DNS project is about - but we will keep you guessing with a few 'in-process' shots for you to check out until we're ready to share... Mwahahaha!
