Project Description
To release the offline version of BÖIKZMÖIND, my fixed gear bicycle documentary, I wanted more than just a plastic case holding a disc, I wanted to go the extra mile and make something special, hopefully something people would want to own. There were lots of stunning photographs from the making of the film, and I wanted them to be seen, so the book became a central part of the package and just as important as the DVD. I wanted it to be held together in a nice way, but as there was zero budget, just my own bank balance, it needed to be simple and achievable. That's when the idea of magnetically sealing the wrap came about and felt like the perfect solution. Like the film and the essence of fixed gear bike riding itself, it was clean and simple.Production Lesson(s)
I learned that putting a book together, my first photography book, is more about what your choices will be, what story do you want to tell. You're presented with a wonderful opportunity to tell your story however you like, knowing it will then be interpreted in a completely unknown way by the reader. What it's taught me is there's nothing better than producing something physical to remind you of the hard graft put into making something like a film. Roll on my next film so I can make another book!
