A couple 20-something filmmakers inspire others to follow their dreams

10 MPH, a documentary about a Segway crossing America is releasing nationally on DVD May 29. The film played at over a dozen film festivals in 2006, including San Diego Film Festival, Sidewalk Moving Picture Festival, and Vail Film Festival. The film picked up three Best Documentary awards at Solstice Film Festival, East Lansing Film Festival, and Toofy Film Festival.

About the film:
The impulsive purchase of a two-wheeled Segway scooter sets this story in motion when a pair of aspiring filmmakers decide to travel from Seattle to Boston at 10 MPH in an attempt to change their lives forever. What ensues is a road trip like none other with a haphazard cast of characters you could only find on a zany 100-day trek through America's back-roads. Each poignant story inspires a craving to go out and do that one thing your heart desires, just as the 10 MPH protagonists realize their own passion for filmmaking throughout the course of this inspiring documentary.

Director and co-producer Hunter Weeks and long time collaborator, editor and co-producer, Josh Caldwell bring their five team crew along for the ride of a lifetime. Along with J. Fred, Resident Artist Gannon Weeks and expedition intern Alon Waisman, these filmmakers know what it takes to do their thing. For more information about the DVD go to www.10mph.com
