This little video of mine - about cargo bikers in the tiny African country of Burundi - debuted at the April 2011 Filmed By Bike weekend, a Portland, Oregon festival dedicated to short films about bikes and bike culture.
Check it out, it's zany and banana-licious.
I'm totally excited that I can call myself an independent filmmaker!
And now at least you know where Burundi is.
Many thanks to my friend, Mike Vogel, for cluing me in to the Filmed By Bike tradition and for kicking my butt enough to put something together for it. Check out his own film, "Right Hook," which was nominated for the best-video award. It's a hilarious take on what many bikers wish they could do to inconsiderate drivers.
Thanks for watching. And, if you liked, do share.

Hi Joe. I've been to Burundi a few times to visit. While I was supposed to be working I stumbled onto your blog and have spent the past hour just reading your posts and checking out your photos. I love all your stories and the way you write and your impressions of a country I rate very highly. Thanks for having taken the time to record all of this for our enjoyment!
Hello, it's my first time here in your blog. Nice work.You can be a great film maker...When you travel abroad, stay covered with an International Health Insurance .
My name is Joe Pinzone and I'm casting an international travel show about expats moving abroad. We'd love to film in Burundi and wanted to know if you could help us find expats who have moved there within the last 15 months or have been there for 3-4 years, but recently moved into a new home. The show documents their move to a new country and will place the country in fabulous light. The contributors on the show would also receive monetary compensation if they are filmed. If you'd like more information, please give me a call at 212-231-7716 or skype me at joefromnyc. You can also email me at joepinzone@leopardusa.com. Looking forward to hearing from you.
