Jon Televison - Roles Reversed

You need to upgrade your Flash Player
Click here to install it

After a long year behind the lens I needed to switch things up and move over to the other side of the glass. Time to reverse the roles; outsource the director duties and instead play the leading role. This film perpetuates that riding bikes will always be more important than capturing it with a camera. Music: I Blame Coco feat. Robyn - Ceasar / AWOLNATION - Guilty Filhty Soul
