Hi Jon - trust you are well. Be great to show it at a cinema in the Midlands. The big screen really does do it justice. If there's a cinema you think might wish to put it on that'd be great and we can drive social and other media interest.
Best for now,

David, Gerry and the Speed is Expensive team,
I was out last night when you posted this but thats great, and yes, seeing it on the big screen would be amazing.
There is a cultural centre in Derby called 'Derby Quad', a registered charity (photo attached), which in their words, "is Derby’s Cultural Hub providing contemporary art exhibitions, film, cinema, integrated digital media work and a range of educational and creative activities that is inspirational, innovative and inclusive."
I have never been myself but it is a charitable enterprise that was set up in 2008, which includes 3 cinema screens two large and one smaller. They specialise in promoting independant films as well as screening International/ Hollywood movies. The Film & Cinema manager is Adam Marsh and the Marketing & Film Officer is Peter Munford

As I said, I've never been to the Quad which is in Derby Market Place but it looks like it is just the sort of cinema that would suite your film.
I hope you can manage to make it happen.
Regards

Hi all.
To mark the release of our north American Deluxe package (see https://vimeo.com/ondemand/speeddeluxe) Paul at The Vintagent has just published a full profile of the only man to win world titles on two and four wheels.
John Surtees' talk to us on camera would prove to be his last major interview.
As we all no doubt know, he joined the firm as an apprentice at the age age of 17. His first victories were in the chair of his father’s Lightning-spec outfit – and then solo on a Grey Flash, before driving and riding for the likes of Honda, Agusta, Ferrari and Norton.
The full story of his time at Vincents and stunning portrait shots by our DoP and stills photographer Steve Read are at www.thevintagent.com.
The Speed is Expensive: Philip Vincent and the Million Dollar Motorcycle deluxe package features the full documentary PLUS over 50 minutes of exclusive extra content featuring John Surtees, Jay Leno, the Barn Job - and friends and family of Philip Vincent and Phil Irving.
In the short Surtees video uploaded here you'll see Rollie Free to the right of the B Shadow.
Best wishes,
David, Gerry and all at Speed is Expensive
