CREMA

A film portrait for CREMA CYCLES

The alliance between ERTZUI and CREMA goes back to the European Handmade Bicycle Exhibition in 2010, where we first met.

Since then, we've established a relationship that goes beyond the business side of things. We've always supported each other and grew into this wonderful culture of handcrafted bicycles.

We took a personal look into a brand that we respect, but more so love for their style and approach.

Shot during the annual CROSSTOBERFEST on location in Eisenberg i. Allgaeu, Germany, in October 2014.

BERLINER FAHRRADSCHAU

A filmclip for BERLINER FAHRRADSCHAU / STATION BERLIN

“This show, as big as it was, as successfull as it was this time – we’re like at a crossroads where it could either go very mainstream or people could realize it, realize their power, and direct it in a good way. (...) It’s in their hands really, as to where it goes.”
Official show recap of the Berliner Fahrradschau 2013.

LIGHT WOLF

A film portrait for STUDIO LIGHT WOLF

Almost 8 years ago, we made a portrait about a certain Felix Wolf – a shining new prospect in the world of custom wheel building. Flawless accuracy and a determination to absolute perfection made him stood out from the rest and soon, LIGHT WOLF became a trademark for next level custom wheel building.

Not much has changed since, although it was time for a revisit. LIGHT WOLF is not a one-man-show anymore.

Shot on location in Dresden, Germany, in Summer 2015.

CRITICAL FILM

A race documentary

A film about a very special weekend of unconventional cyclocross racing before it became popular. It only took 126 km of dirt, gravel and cobblestones devided in 4 stages between Dresden and Leipzig, 80 racers, 9 hours, 35°C, 600 liters of water, a ton of food, a world cup quarterfinal and many many enthusiastic souls, to make this an unbelievable experience.

They call it 'CRITICAL DIRT – A study in crossification'.
