LOS ANGELES, March 6 (Reuters) - Keanu Reeves was able
to translate his love for motorbikes into the docuseries
"Visionaries" where he and his business partner Gard Hollinger
meet creative people from different walks of life that help them
design the perfect motorcycle.
Reeves co-founded ARCH Motorcycles in Hawthorne, California
alongside Hollinger in 2011 and had the chance to meet bike
designers and inventors for "Visionaries."
One of the creatives they spoke to included a young man who
built a space rocket using a giant 3-D printer.
"It's an extraordinary opportunity," Reeves told Reuters.
"We really hoped to inspire people with creativity and what
are the potentials? And really championing creativity and
creating, you know, championing people to create and to get over
obstacles and to, you know, to realize dreams," he added.
"Visionaries," distributed by Roku ( ROKU ), arrives to The Roku
Channel on March 7.
Reeves and Hollinger curated the people they wanted to meet
on their journey, with Reeves' favorite being James Turrell, a
light artist who turned a volcanic crater in Arizona into a
naked-eye observatory for the stars.
"I've thought about the skies and telescopes and the
constellations, but someone to kind of create situations and
mold a dormant crater," said Reeves.
"I guess a crater's always dormant in order to be a creator,
but anyway, that to me with James Turrell was certainly
remarkable," he added.
He also found being an on-screen talent refreshing as well.
"I love meeting folks and I love being able to speak. I love
being able to talk to someone about their passion and their art
and their craft," said Reeves.
"And the whole production company and the artists that we
spoke to, they were very open to have that intimacy in a way to
talk about passion and creativity, was some of the more profound
experiences that we have in life," the "John Wick" actor said.
