The Cross Canada Project: Documenting a Bicycle Tour Across Canada
9 months ago
"The Cross Canada Project" attempts to document the experiences of long-distance bicycle touring. Using a specially designed weatherproof camera mounted to his bicycle, Mike Beauchamp is able to film himself without interruption in all conditions as he attempts to ride his bicycle over 7000 KM across Canada from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean. Along the way he practices "stealth camping", visits distant relatives, encounters strangers and other cyclists and explores abandoned houses. Set to an original soundtrack and using video diaries, recorded phone conversations and radio interviews, Mike illustrates the struggles of a touring cyclist and explores the vastness of the Canadian landscape... all for "something to do".

I also really like the film. The quality of the shooting/editing is high and I like how you didn't try to make the story more or less than it was. It's also awesome how DIY you did the whole thing, as far as gear, planning, music, filming/editing, and stealth camping! And on such a tight budget. I hope you have good luck with the film festival.
Cheers, and thanks for sharing. JR
Stories like this totally inspire me and if I see one more I'm quitting my job :)
