Relentless Short Stories – “All In” with Willow and Lennie

Ryan — Wed, 27 Apr 2011 11:05:32 +0000

The next edit from this years Relentless “Short Stories” film making competition is now in, this time around featuring none other than German legends Lennie Burmeister and Christoph “Willow” Wildgrub, filmed and edited by Mark Nickels.

Set in the streets of Berlin, Mark, Willow and Lennie aim to paint a stirring picture of what it is to love your sport. Not to do it for the fame or the glory, but to make sacrifices, work jobs you don’t want to, all for those moments when the wheels hit the pavement and everything just slips away behind you. Set against the back drop of the Berlin streets, Mark succeeds in bringing this unpredictable city to life.
