An independent documentary film by Michael Ambs and Amanda Walker about love, taking chances and leaving everything behind.
Last week Loonachic printed off some of our FToM flyers and posted them around Chicago - which was not only amazing in and of itself, but someone saw one of Michelle's flyers and left the following comment... ;"i'd never heard of the project until i saw the sign (above) in front of my building and again in my lobby. i immediately came upstairs and looked into....and here i am. spent the last half hour reading about your project. good work michelle....keep spreading the word. flyers (apparently...

Maybe someone better with words could explain why it is abandoned houses always feel so fascinating when on the road. ;I used to spend hours in them on my first bike trip... Tim and I would drag our bikes off the road, make lunch while sitting on a dirty, glass-covered floor. I would poke through old dressers, look for things that used to be important to someone. Baseball cards. Magazines with notes scribbled on the margins.

I sound a bit under the weather in this video - but despite my sore throat I've been hard at work editing and writing for the film.
The http://vgkids.com were cool enough to let me come by and film them making the film's new t-shirts. I had no idea the machines they use to print shirts were so awesome - the way it drops and spins around is kinda' hypnotizing :P I think I shot way, way more footage of their machine than anything else. The tees are 100% organic cotton unisex alternate apparel shirts :) and all the profits help support our feature film. Get yours at http://pedal.bigcartel.com ♥
November 11th marked a few excited things: a 28th birthday, the 100th week of post production, and the day FToM on Kickstarter reached 100% of it's funding goal! Since then pledges have slowly kept coming in - and we want to make the best of this momentum and the remaining days (campaign doesn't end until Thanksgiving). We'd love to see if we can hit an even higher goal - Kickstarter is such a powerful and unique outreach tool and we want to raise the bar as high as possible. We've designed FT...
33 days ago, Amanda and I launched a brand new Kickstarter campaign to help fund the last stages of post-production: http://ksr.projectpedal.com Since then we've been backed by over 40 people, with pledges ranging from $1 to over $500! We have raised $1,638 towards our goal of $8,300! This is an all or nothing campaign. Meaning if we don't hit $8.3k, then no one's pledges go through. Help support 'For Thousands of Miles', plus get awesome stuff like Pedal buttons, posters, autographed scripts,...

I was up late last night working - and decided a video update was long, long overdue. I've been finished up on a huge step of post-production for almost two weeks now, and I've been waiting to make that announcement on video. Also - and more importantly, I need people's input on what the next step for me should be. new? hi.projectpedal.com blog: blog.projectpedal.com film: forthousandsofmiles.com
