About the film

The product is a bicycle frame that takes forty hours to build, so the film is about time. Close, slow, tactile: the file, the torch, the moment a joint cools. No voiceover, no music bed for the first twenty seconds — only the workshop.

Delivered as a sixty-second master with six and fifteen-second cuts for pre-roll, all framed with safe areas so the vertical crops hold up.
