Keanu Reeves translated his love for motorbikes into the docuseries Visionaries, in which he and his business partner Gard Hollinger meet creative people from different walks of life who 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 hoped to inspire people with creativity. What are the potentials? And 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, arrives on The Roku Channel on March 7.

Reeves and Hollinger curated the people they wanted to meet on their journey. Reeves' favorite was 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 creates situations and molds a dormant crater," said Reeves.

"I guess a crater's always dormant 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 being able to speak. I love talking to someone about their passion, art, and craft,” said Reeves.

“And the whole production company and the artists that we spoke to, they were very open to having that intimacy to talk about passion and creativity, was some of the more profound experiences we have in life,” the “John Wick” actor said.
