A FILM BY
AREN HANSEN & REVA QUAM
When your bike gets ripped off for the second time in a month, you may find yourself wondering about the thieves and where they take the bikes. The week after this happened to East Vancouver filmmaker Aren Hansen, he began to make this film. Riding a stolen blue bicycle through the city he goes on a journey to seek out people with similar experiences and explore his fears, memories and many shades of anger. White Vans is a stylish docudrama with interviews, reenactments, a bait bike and hot Canadian music from Caribou, Pink Mountaintops and others.
The filmmakers ride old single speed cruiser bikes. Aren Hansen, writer/director/editor is currently drooling over these. Reva Quam, producer/designer will one day be riding a Kronan.
