“I set out with just one goal - to find the best cycling short films from around the world for our audiences that celebrate the fun, the adventure, and the inspiration that cycling enables,” Cotter said.
“This is a milestone year, originating in Taupō as a passion project back in 2015, 2024 will mark a decade of delighting our two-wheel devotees and we may not have the budgets of the big blockbusters, but we do certainly have the drive and ambition to take these wonderful short films to audiences across the country (and indeed the globe), showcasing where a bicycle can take you.”
