New movie set to throw the spotlight on sidecar racing at the Isle of Man TT races
‘3
Wheeling’, produced by Isle of Man based company Beaumanx Productions,
is set to boost the profile of sidecar racing at the Isle of Man TT.
The
cinematic production is a behind the scenes reality movie that
chronicles the fortunes of the sidecar crews as they prepare and race at
the 2016 Isle of Man TT.
The film focuses on the leading driver
17-time TT race winner Dave Molyneux, as well as former Sidecar World
Champion Tim Reeves and their fearless passengers Dan Sayle and Patrick
Farrance, as they prepare to tackle the TT Mountain Course.
The
movie also gives a compelling insight into the role of team managers
Austrian 3-time TT race winner and former Sidecar World Champion Klaus
'Klaffi' Klaffenböck, who now manages Reeves’ outfit and Andy Faragher,
who runs Molyneux’s sidecar campaign.
From the paddocks to parc
fermé and the pit lane, 3 Wheeling goes behind the scenes with all the
highs, lows, thrills and disappointments. The action follows all the
drama from the inside, throughout practice week and during the two Sure
Sidecar TT races.
Producer Chris Beauman commented:
“This
has been a labour of love for everyone associated with the production
and the driving force behind the movie is to showcase the spectacular
sport of sidecar racing to a wider audience and to show the great film
talent we have here on the Isle of Man. We will initially be screening 3 Wheeling on the Isle of Man before and during TT, but we are keen to talk to film distributors and broadcasters who may be interested in showing the movie internationally.”
Director Nathan Russell-Raby commented:
“This
production has been a mammoth undertaking for our very talented
Manx-based crew, who over the course of the last 10 months have worked
incredibly hard to wow fans of sidecars and cinema alike. There’s always
a story at the TT but 2016 exceeded our expectations, hitting our
ensemble of entertaining characters with the most cinematic narrative we
ever could have hoped for. I am extremely excited to finally hand this
film over to its audience!”
3 Wheeling will be initially screening on the Isle of Man at the Broadway Cinema in the Villa Marina from Sunday 7th May and there will be daily screenings during TT fortnight. To book tickets, please go to villagaiety.com
