As far as the project goes, we have nearly twenty people working together to help take the next steps toward the feature known as Biking The States: An Exploration of Self and Country. Our editors have completed rough cuts for four scenes which is nearly half way through the first Act of our film. Our transcribers have managed to transcribe several very important interviews that will allow us to create our fluid narrative voice for the film, our composers have put together several jamming songs specific to the bike trip, and our new partnership with Nothing Without a Company is blossoming into something wonderful. Our animator has created some stellar concept art, and the website has never looked better.
Although the past couple of months have been extremely rewarding, we can't stop pushing. What else do we have in store you ask? Well, we are cutting a short movie, about 25 minutes long that will capture the themes and the story of our film. It will be submitted to film festivals in order to raise awareness of our project, and hopefully assist in raising money to help complete the feature film. In the mean time, we will continue our approach with our wonderful help on the road to constant progress. We are searching out grants and funding, and have begun a marketing push to keep people as excited about this project as we are.
Spread the word. Spread the love. Ride a bike and keep living the adventure!
Sincerely,
Ryan C. Kolegas
