It  was a couple of month ago when i stumbled somewhere in the social media universe upon a project that directly catched my attention. ‘For thousands of miles’, a self-financed independent film project, following a lonely bicycle rider on his way from coast to coast. What does it take to leave everything behind and go on a journey like this? The film will be a documentary about a bicycle trip on the first hand, but as Mike Ambs, the man behind the project, points out, also about motivation and the passion behind it. The principle photography lasted 64 days in 2007. The film is not edited yet, but what is ready to watch is the behind the scenes film, properly called 64 days. It is really personal sometimes and gives a great insight in what it takes to get a project like this going. But as Mike created more than enough content to get you familiar with the project and how to support it and everything else you ever dreamt of to get to know about making a film, check out their website Project:Pedal for more information plus the films. But be careful, it might happen that you get lost for some hours… And as a starter: Here is the first part of ‘64 days’…

(via An Interview with Mike Ambs pt.1) For the past six years Mike Ambs has been working on ‘Project Pedal’. Project Pedal consists of three primary areas, the blog, ‘64 Days’ the making of series and of course the film itself. In his own words, ‘Pedal’ is, ‘A feature length documentary about riding bikes, taking chances and pushing yourself to do the things that scare and overwhelm you.’

For Thousands of Miles — A Documentary About Leaving Everything Behind: This is the second film project from Mike Ambs; his first was the enchanting Project Pedal, whose video I adored with its somber tones and Malick feel. Thousands of Miles is part two of that project, a very personal effort by Mike to document both the events of and his reaction to a two-month bike trip that changed his life. Watch the clip and get sucked in. (via The Kickstarter Blog)

“ my pals mike ambs and amanda walker are hard at work on their first film, a feature-length documentary called For Thousands of Miles and are trying to raise funds for the last stages of post-production. even $1 will help. as someone who’s left everything behind more than once in my life, i can definitely identify with this film, which is why i’ve made a pledge, and want to see them finish it.
