Life In Tandem: The Neil Fachie Story

Doc by @GavinSturgeon following Paralympic, and Commonwealth tandem cyclist Neil Fachie MBE. Sometimes your greatest rival is life itself. #ALifeInTandem

Great to see a major Japanese newspaper profile Neil’s journey this weekend and the film.

[Neil Fachie OBE @neilfachie]

Pretty cool when you have an article about you printed in a major Japanese news outlet! Somewhat fitting that the image used here is from gold at Glasgow 2014 which i celebrated the 6 year anniversary of over the weekend.

Nothing like a global pandemic induced shutdown to focus the mind and approach. I'm a storyteller pure and simple and ready to document this changing World. https://t.co/t56DyqInMC #filmmaking #creative #whatinspiresme

Takes two to tandem. Starting to understand the relationship between Neil and his pilot @PeteMitchellGB Love that an able-bodied athlete can compete in the Paralympics. Starting to get to grips with 'the office' too :) #AlifeInTandem @BritishCycling @C4Paralympics @ParalympicsGB

12 July 2019. Three months later and perhaps a bigger story to tell? Neil had competed for GB and Scotland for 12 years. I wanted to create a documentary for ages; what was Neil’s disability and how has it affected his life? #ALifeInTandem @ParalympicsGB @BBCSportScot

Mine’s a double!! @neilfachie and @MattRotherham grab 5 minutes on the beach. They’d just nabbed their second Gold of the games in the sprint in a games record time, equaling the record of Golds for Scotland. #ALifeInTandem @thecgf @BBCSport

[Team Scotland @Team_Scotland]

Two years ago today @neilfachie and @MattRotherham put in an incredible performance to take Team Scotland's first GOLD of Gold Coast 2018 in spectacular style on the opening day of cycling!

Victory in the 1km Time Trial in a new Commonwealth Games record! 🥇🚴‍♀️

This wasn't too bad a Commonwealth Games for you was it @neilfachie :)

[Gavin Sturgeon @GavinSturgeon]

'The Dark is what will lead you to your light.’ Two years on loved making this film of the #GC2018 Commonwealth Games and the message of reconciliation and inclusivity is as relevant as ever. #filmmaking #Commonwealth #Marketing https://t.co/SjVS4EbbnK

@SophieThornhill @SunderlandAFC Brilliant series, absolutely loved it. Inspires my filmmaking for sure.

@chrishoy. Despite filming for over a year with @neilfachie, plans for a 2020 #Paralympics have been sculleries. Here’s the start of an unfolding story...

A year ago to the day I filmed with @neilfachie. The first time we spoke properly since going to school back in 2000, it was clear Neil was still wrestling with the results from #Rio #Paralympics. I left feeling there was unfinished business here. #ALifeInTandem

@C4Paralympics. A traumatic week for all Olympians and Paralympians. For past 12 months I’ve been following @neilfachie on his road to Tokyo. More behind the scenes content to come. #ALifeInTandem

@ParalympicsGB.

[Life In Tandem: The Neil Fachie Story @ALifeInTandem]

Today should have been 150 days to go until the #Tokyo2020 #Paralympics. Feeling for each and every athlete who's life has been turned upside down, but especially @neilfachie who I've filmed for 12 months. I'll share more #behindthescenes how we got to here.
