Delivery from NO WEATHER on Vimeo.
Bill is fifty-two years old. Sporting an unruly mountain man beard and chain smoking Camel straights, he delivers pizza on a bike in Brooklyn.

Over the course of several shifts, filmmakers Christopher K. Walker and Michael Beach Nichol’s Delivery unveils an intriguing portrait of a man rushing through life and getting the food to your door while it’s still “hot and fresh” through the Big Apple’s crowded streets and back alleyways.
And he works hard.
A local legend known for his fierce determination and deliverance to the job and his bicycle, Bill’s been through a hard and weathered life. At the end of his shift he’ll often look for a place to sleep on a friend’s couch.
His family and apartment are long gone; his future is limited. Yet everyday he comes to work, making another hard-earned dollar through sheer perseverence.
Riding the City’s streets as a courier and pizza delivery guy for 30 years, Bill has no regrets. As long as he can continue to ride his bike, he’s relatively happy.
“The day I can no longer ride a bike better be the day I’m fucking dead,” he says.
To note, filmmakers Christopher K. Walker and Michael Beach Nichol run a documentary production company called No Weather Productions located in Brooklyn, NY. Michael shoots and Chris edits.
Sometimes they switch that up.
