The resulting film has won an outstanding record of 9 awards in international film festivals, the latest being two awards at the Toronto Motorcycle Film Festival in Canada for Dream Racer – and making of Dream Racer – the most awarded unscripted motorcycle documentary film in history.
Recipient of both Best Feature Film Award and People’s Choice Award, Dream Racer continues to win the heart of audiences around the world. The film is based on the famous 10,000km / 6,200 miles Dakar Rally, which follows the story of the not-so-fit Business Consultant Christophe Barriere-Varju, who attempts the feat without sponsors, without a multi-million dollar team, not even a mechanic – just one rider, a motorbike, a film maker and the world’s most dangerous motor race.
The success of Dream Racer is that it is far more than just a motorbike movie, Dream Racer is a call to arms for anyone who has ever dreamt of doing anything – a spine tingling antidote to the fear of life passing you by unfulfilled.
Both awards were received on behalf of Dream Racer by autoTRADER.ca Senior Editor Jacob Black – who also appeared in the movie and is now a Canadian resident.
Toronto Motorcycle Film Festival Director, Caius Tenche said: “The Toronto Motorcycle Film Festival was thrilled to show Dream Racer at our inaugural event. Hearing the audience react during the screening was exciting and when the audience voted for their favourite it was immediately clear that Dream Racer was going to win an award. Congratulations to the Dream Racer team for a powerfully inspirational movie that everyone can relate to, whether a motorcyclist or not.”
“Winning a double award in Canada is absolutely amazing, there is really nothing more you could wish for. I never expected Dream Racer to have such a positive impact on viewers,” says Christophe.
