“Out of Nothing,” a documentary made in Bellingham about motorcycle speed records in Utah will go public May 17 with a premier at Mount Baker Theatre.
Many of the people who worked on the movie are based in Whatcom County, and three of the four motorcyclists profiled in it reside in the county. The movie’s music and lyrics are by local musicians, too.
“There’s some amazing talent here,” said Andrew Lahmann of Bellingham, one of the producers.
Ryan Stiles, the nationally known comedian who lives near Bellingham, played a key role as a producer with strong ties to the entertainment industry.
Stiles was featured in a Kickstarter video last summer that raised more than $53,000 for the movie, enabling the crew to travel to the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah to shoot additional footage.
