Private Project

Frankenstein Created Bikers

A resurrected outlaw biker finds himself addicted to the substance that brought him back from the grave. In order to get his daily fix, his gang is forced to do the bidding of two sadistic scientists attempting to capture a biological mutation and perform a human head transplant on kidnapped teenagers. When his disgruntled ex-girlfriend is released from prison, she embarks on an explosive manhunt for her former lover and his strung-out pack of degenerates. With three dysfunctional bounty hunters, a rival motorcycle gang and an army of machine-gun toting strippers, it becomes a race against law-enforcement for bragging rights to the gang leader’s demise.

Director Statement

"An uproarious celebration of exploitation cinema with a heart of gold-plated chaos. I love it!" - Kent Osborne, head writer "Adventure Time"

I grew up addicted to late night monster creature features and drive-in ballyhoo. As a teenager, I rented and projected the Janus film library on 16mm in my backyard and owned every video store card within a 100 mile radius of the South Georgia swamps. It didn’t matter if it was Screwball Comedy, Westerns, French New Wave or Indonesian Flying Head films. I was a student of every micro sub-genre and film movement. Like the poor soul being forced to read my director’s statement, I’ve been a cinematic anthropologist my entire life – digesting every book and article on the subject until I was cutting my teeth on a old Bell & Howell 16mm camera.

Riding on the notoriety and foreign distribution of my previous film DEAR GOD NO!, I was able to successfully Kickstarter enough cash to make FRANKENSTEIN CREATED BIKERS. If you’re going all in, you might as well shoot an epic in Cinemascope on Super 35mm film in 10 cities with a large cast. It’s the movie I’ve always wanted to see. Tough femme fatales and crusty anti-heroes caught in a B-movie universe delivering Film Noir dialog exploding with sexual innuendo and violence under a hot Georgia sun with. Underlying themes that weave a deeper complexity to the outrageous entertainment depicted on screen. It exists in a world where the fundamental elements of film are kidnapped and forced to do dirty things upon a Grindhouse floor.

My goal was to make a film so convoluted and bizarre the viewer felt like they were part of a "dusk til dawn" drive-in experience while under the influence of psychedelic drugs. A dangerous invitation to read deeper meanings into what you're witnessing. You're not paranoid. The secrets are in there.

I’ve never witnessed anything like FRANKENSTEIN CREATED BIKERS - not in tone, plot, theme or sheer outrageous behavior. If you give us a chance, we have a rabid cult following and some serious social media tentacles. With over 50,000 Twitter followers and approaching 8,000 Facebook likes, we'll do our best to help drive genre fanatics to the screening.

FRANKENSTEIN CREATED BIKERS is very personal and it's fun with an inebriated midnight audience. I really hope you enjoy it. It has a life long love of the exploitation and horror genres behind it. Thank you for your consideration.
