Synopsis

Brittown is a feature documentary featuring legendary underground Britbike mechanic “Meatball” from the Hell On Wheels bike shop in Anaheim, CA.  Brittown chronicles several months in Meatball's life as he runs his old BSA in vintage motocross races, embraces the legacy of Steve McQueen on his vintage Triumph Cub desert sled with the No Gooders motorcycle club, flies down the Willow Springs raceway on his Norstar, and uses all his skill to rebuild an old 650 Triumph Bonneville motor into a blazing road-ready screamer ... all while juggling his responsibilities to his family and his rock band Smiling Face Down.

Building on the success of their cult-hit Choppertown: the Sinners that exposed the underground world of the Sinners hot rod and motorcycle club, Brittown marks the most ambitious film to date for producer/directors Zack Coffman and Scott DiLalla. "We've been blown away by the response to our films," says DiLalla, "We made Choppertown on a wing and a prayer and I think we struck a chord with the regular Joe wrenching on his bike in his garage. Our films so far have taken place in the world of motorcycles and hot rods, but we try to speak to a more universal concept of not needing to be rich and famous to put your energy into something that you love. It's not about how much money you have, but about your passion for life."

Adds Coffman, "There's a mystique to the old British bikes that people really connect with. Like Steve McQueen racing in On Any Sunday, when you ride an old motorcycle – Triumph, Harley, BMW, Honda or whatever -- you feel a relationship with the past but also have a chance to express yourself as an individual in the present. Brittown is about more than motorcycles; it’s about individual expression and about an import part of our cultural heritage."

"In the end we always want to say thanks to our supporters who have literally paved the road for our journey. We make our films for them and hope to reward their excitement for Brittown with an amazing voyage," DiLalla said.
