Karl Ranseier…

Self-shot and edited whilst cycling around the world, this short film charts my winter journey into the Canadian Arctic as I completed my bike ride up the American continent. Compelled by Jack London’s assertion, that ‘any man who is a man can travel alone’, I sought an adventure of perfect solitude. Yet, as I came to realise, the harsh truths of travelling in such a formidable environment were a long way from the romantic images I’d held of this land. The Frozen Road is an honest reflection on my solo trip; of the wonder, terror and frustration I experienced when riding through the unforgiving emptiness of one of the world’s ‚last great wildernesses‘.

If you’ve enjoyed this film please think about donating whatever you think it was worth/can afford to help cover some of the costs of making it and releasing it for FREE! Between 2014 and 2017 I pedalled my way across five continents, filming the entire journey as I went. I’m hoping to turn that footage into a longer film later this year and so any kind support will really help make that happen 🙂 PLUS any donators will receive a download of The Frozen Road for free!

When there’s a gun crime in America, there’s only one place to go to trace the gun back to its owner: Martinsburg, West Virginia. That’s where the ATF’s National Tracing Center handles roughly 8,000 active traces per day — all while inside a government-mandated technology time-capsule that makes searching a database of gun owners impossible. This is nothing like those cop shows you watch. With more gun stores in the U.S.A. than McDonalds, Starbucks, and supermarkets combined, there’s a lot of paperwork to manually sort through. And it’s truly a sight to behold.

Words: OSHO Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh

We are very ungrateful to existence
it has given so much to us, and without our asking
to look around at what existence is continually doing for us:
The Sun
The Moon
The stars
The trees
The birds
The animals
The people

We are such ungrateful creatures
you are living in a tremendously beautiful dream
you have to be awake about it. Then only; a gratefulness arises
I call that gratefulness true religion.

All that you need is a deep gratitude towards existence,
he need not believe in god, he need not believe in heaven and hell
just a simple phenomenon, a deep felt gratitude
that this existence would have been missing something without you,
that this vast existence needed you, no one else.

And your place, was empty before you, will be empty after you.

Cayce Zavaglia

„I can’t do portraits of people that I’m not connected to. I think there’s something about doing people that I know intimately, that puts something in the portrait that I can’t put into words … or I don’t want to put into words, because I want to keep it private. But making the portrait, says everything that I can’t say with words.“

An audiovisual ecstasy – a firework and ode to the colorful bazaar of passions!

Could it be sweet, sour, bitter or even salty? A girl embarks on an aromatic journey of love, stimulating her taste buds to the point of climax. With all senses, she explores the various forms love can take on. “Love is as diverse as our sense of taste.”
