PRODUCTION: Summer Comedy Bikers Starts Shooting

By

    PRAGUE: One of the most productive Czech screenwriters, Petr Kolečko, is the author of the new summer comedy Bajkeři / Bikers, which started shooting at the end of May. The shooting will continue the whole month of June mostly at  locations in Telč and the so-called Czech Canada.

    The film will be the directorial debut of Martin Kopp, who has been directing TV series.

    Step-brothers Jakub and David and their friend Sasha spend most of their time in the world of social networks. Their relationships are chats with girls they have never seen and their biggest problem is a dead cell phone or a non-functioning wi-fi. Pressured by their parents they are forced to go on a twenty-kilometre bicycle trip. Surprisingly, they find out that there is a real world out there and life means more than a Facebook status.

    Tomáš Vican is the producer of the film, FTV Prima is the main coproducer. The Czech distributor Falcon plans the release for 19 October 2017.
