Husband-and-wife film duo Eric Ristau and Geneva Liimatta have set their hearts on documenting motorcyclists who love nothing more than hitting the open road with their dogs. Since canines are unlikely to sit behind riders, these awesome biker dogs ride shotgun in the sidecar.
“Seeing a dog in a sidecar brings a smile to everyone’s face. Our film explores the relationship between sidecar dogs and their motorcycle-riding humans. The dogs and humans we’ve met while shooting this project are amazing characters. You’ll love them all.”
The couple’s documentary ‘Sit Stay Ride: The Story of America’s Sidecar Dogs’ is running a Kickstarter campaign to raise money for the entire project. Director and producer Ristau and Liimatta are bike enthusiasts and dog lovers themselves, so they have decided to donate 25% of the movie’s proceeds to help canine rescue organizations.
