Rides can be more than a way of traveling. I would also recommend it to every creative professional.
Maria Bieber, for instance, got in touch with us via put a few strangers in a car for some hours and assisted us later, when we were shooting.
Christoph Richter and I also met on a ride. After he chanced to hear a feature about us in the radio he remembered us and started to record a still missing off-voice with narrator Oliver Fuehrmann, for the The Last Drug, our recent Open Source feature film production. Perfect timing since I was about to edit the scenes from the pick up shooting last month .
The voice fits in, so we are one step further. Credits goes to Oliver and Christoph, who pulled it from their "work after Feierabend"-stack of their label
for us.
