Spectrum: Filmmaker Oliver Kratz has been working on his documentary project 'Road Bike Fever' for almost two years now, in which he captures impressions from the amateur scene on film – including L'Eroica, Ötztaler and Mont Ventoux. Since the processing of the almost 100 hours of raw material is time-consuming and complex, he is now looking for financial support.
Oliver Kratz has been on the go with his camera for more than 20 decades - he only discovered his passion for cycling three years ago, but the racing bike, its unique feeling and, above all, the amateur scene immediately fascinated him. That's why he decided to combine his two hobbies and the 'Road Bike Fever' project was born. For three months he accompanied five very active amateurs through Europe, stopping at the Mecklenburg Lake District, in Bavaria, Bremen, Rügen, Provence, beautiful Tuscany, of course in the Alps and also in the racing bike paradise of Mallorca - of course always with the camera in his luggage .
In this way, more than 90 hours of film material came together, which of course now needs to be processed. The film is scheduled for release at the end of February and is well on the way. Many work steps have already been completed, countless hours of work and a lot of money have already gone into 'racing bike fever'. Post-production is now imminent and Oliver is looking for support – so that he "I can't run out of breath" as he says himself. You can send him this support on the crowdfunding platform Startnext – for a donation of €24, for example, you can already get the DVD of the film – as soon as it is finished.
We think 'Road Bike Fever' is a great project and keep our fingers crossed that Oliver achieves his goal.
