Short Synopsis:	On June 18th of 2019, my dear friend and colleague Jonathan tragically died by suicide, my world had come tumbling down, and with it, my interest in telling stories. I had so many feelings about my friend’s passing, that only by opening up to my close friends, was I able to realize that I was not alone. Through this camaraderie and shared grief, I slowly regained my desire for filmmaking and knew that I wanted to do something in Jonathan's honor. Three years later, I contacted Gabriel Frilando, who many know by his moniker: CheatDeathNYC. As the main subject of “NYC Is Handsome”, Gabriel was the focus and reason that initially brought Jonathan and me together for the first of many collaborations. In honor of Jonathan, I wanted to return to where it all began, a complete full circle, with Gabriel, a bicycle and the streets of New York City. In honor of a dear friend gone too soon I present this short film of remembrance “Bike Church.”
