Accompany three German hillbillies discovering the American culture on a weird road trip and see how they stumble into the American way of life as outsiders.
Jetzt, wo Aldi auch schon wieder Lebkuchen im Angebot hat, haben wir ein kleines vorweinachtliches Gimmick für alle Route 66 - Fans zusammengestellt. Herzlichen Dank für euren unermüdlichen Support über die letzten Jahre - ihr habt unsere zweite Produktion "Die Letzte Droge" erst möglich gemacht, womit wir der Free Culture Filmkunst noch diesen Winter ein "Level Up" zu spenden gedenken :)
This 8 feet tall alien headed freak is my avatar in the 3D online world Second Life, in front of the official Creative Commons movie heatrer on Kula island. At 4 pm PDT on Aug 10th I will talk about open source filmmaking and release the english version of Route 66. If another 8 feet tall freak is sitting in front of you at the theater, obstructing your view - no worries: in this world you can just stand up and fly ;o)
Als erste Hochschule überhaupt verwendete die FH Furtwangen bereits kurz nach der Veröffentlichung von Route 66 das Film(quell)material zu Lehrzwecken. Die Lehrveranstaltung ist beendet, die Semesterabschlussparty durch und neue Route 66-Trailer haben das Licht der Welt erblickt :o) Unser Dank gilt Philipp Pfeiffer und den Teams:

"Good morning America! Another glorious day just begun. And while other stations still play ordinary music - we play ROCK!"
"Listen! We got a message for the guys at valleyforge. Please do not send us any tape again! We play rock."
"You are listening to Radio Wave-Emotion. The most ROMANTIC radio station. I got wonderful news today: I bet you heard about the three young christian pilgrims? I heard, they are on the quest for god! They are traveling our peaceful country searching for the Jesus Christ! So if GOD lets them cross your ways you may hand them a bible! And now, my untroubled listeners, let us pray a chaplet for them."
"This is Jack of V-Rock. Do YOU KNOW what I got this morning? Another TAPE from valleyforge! They send us tapes EVERY DAMN WEEK. Guys I tell you what: we'll play your stuff this ONE SINGLE TIME. And you guys STOP SPAMMING US with that psychedelic music shit. You got it? Here we go"
"This is Fernando Martinez, Radio Rio Dio Texas. I got spectecular news this time from my secret informants: Three young guys from Tijuana came directly to our country and have stolen the original Cadillac of our former president John F. Kennedy! Rumors says they changed the colour of that car. So if you see three suspicious Mexicans, call me and tell me the exact colour of this car!"
"I have seen them hit a bus! So damn serious I am. You better beware of these weird rockers!"
"As my reliable informant told me recently, the mysterious Cadillac has colour GREY. But anyway, if you are one of the lucky person, seeing that car driving through our beautifull country, you call me and tell me the exact colour."
"Wal Mart Customer Service"; "Hello, this is Fernando Martinez. Can I speak to Jesus?"; "Excuse me?"; "Senior Jesus Christus!"; "Sorry Sir, Mister Christus left us!"
"When I was younger and came into this beautiful country I used to had a car too! It was a marvellous Buick Century. A real MANS car. What a pity that I don't remember the colour."
This is V-Rock at 9 o'clock. Another hour of blitz news talk on your favourite american radio station. Weather is great out there, feels like Saigon in 74. We got the first listener on the line. Hello? Hi this is Fernando Martinez calling! Ahh, we got a wetback, a mexican friend, here on the line, go ahead buddy... I'm not from Mexico! Como se dice, I'm calling from Texas, from Radio Rio Dio Texas... Ok, mexican cowboy! What is your issue? I heard, you know about the three car thieves driving the Cadillac of our former president! I wonder what colour the... Buddy - I tell you what: If I would be the president of the united states of america, I would sentence to death every potential car thief around. And I'm not only saying so because my fellows at the NRA might be listening. But I'm not going to be the president. What I do is what everybody in the US should do: support someone running for president! The times of lame politics are gone - so I say: vote for Mick Jagger. Mick Jagger for president! Boring politicans better get of...
"Look at the credits and you'll see multiple credits for everybody – everybody did multiple jobs [...] That's why we stay out of Hollywood, because it's not that system. It's a completely different way of doing it."

You can go out and watch a nice mash up of Route 66 at the Theatre of Graz, Austria. The stage designer Jo Schramm used some of our footage in a few scenes of the play GO WEST: it will be projected on the walls, from a bus that is staffed by an orchestra that is supposed to be driving at the Route 66. That's why you should allow the "derivative works" attribute in your CC-License of choice!
