Chasing the Bullet the film - Official Trailer
Chris came to India with whatever funding he could rustle up and shot the film Chasing the Bullet. After he was done he got on a plane and went back to the US to edit it. Well here is the official trailer from the film. Must say he crammed in a lot of motorcycle misfits in the 1:20sec trailer.

Chasing the Bullet the trailer
Remember Chris Zahner who had a Kickstarter project for a film he wanted to make on the bullet titled Chasing The Bullet? Well he never got the funding he needed but that never stopped him. He tightened his belt, reworked his plan, got on a plane and flew to Delhi and got to work chasing all the leads he could. He is no way even close to being ready but here is a trailer of what and who he has caught up with so far.
Cant wait to see the whole film now!

Chasing the Bullet
We were introduced to Chris Zahner through a moto friend we came across on Instagram. He was travelling to India and after a few emails one thing led to another and Chris ended up joining us on our ride to Pangi. Now he is getting ready to make another trip to India to make a film on the Royal Enfield and the stories behind this motorcycle.
In his words Chasing the Bullet is going to be roughly 60 minutes long and will be a "people's history" of the the Royal Enfield. I have amassed a long list of contacts and various characters who will drive the narrative of this film. There will be anecdotes, historical contexts, personal stories and more. These stories of the Royal Enfield will be juxtaposed to modern day in which these themes, motifs and circumstances continue to exist. Overall, the film will show why the Royal Enfield was so relevant when it arrived in the mid-20th century from England, it's widespread use and survival in India against the backdrop of a developing world and most importantly, why it is still so relevant today. Additionally, this film will explore the future of the Royal Enfield in the context of a changing motorcycle scene and why its roots and characteristics are still incredibly relevant.
Check out his page on Kickstarter and needs all the help he can get to get his project off the ground.
