Pedal * Blog

This production blog is a very personal and in-depth look at the making of an independent film.

For Thousands of Miles is a film about the long term shift in perspective after traveling alone, for thousands of miles, by bicycle from the Pacific coast to the Atlantic ocean. The goal of this film is to share people’s reasons and motivations to leave everything behind and to understand what they each take away from their overwhelming and painful journeys.

64 Days is a behind-the-scenes video series shot during the filming of ‘For Thousands of Miles’ in the summer of 2007.

We try our best to update this blog weekly with, not only written posts, but also video posts, keeping followers up to date on all progress and news pertaining to the making of this film.
