Episode Four: This is it, Two months left...

share this   |   'save as'   |   add to miro

The idea of Project Pedal came about, thanks to Amanda, almost exactly four years ago - and for the last three years, I've been pouring myself into it with my fair share of difficulties along the way.

But thanks to the encouragement of close friends, family and the readers/viewers of this site - I've always picked myself up and kept trying when things dead-ended with Pedal.

I can't imagine where I would be without this site and without everything it has directly been instrumental in sending my way. My amazing crew, the Black Sheep... the professional advice and support of Matt... the much needed and much appreciated relationships with total strangers who've stumbled onto this site in there own ways.

I've learned so much in the last three years, and if I had any advice to pass on to people reading - it would be, whatever your passion or personal project may be, don't go it alone. Start a blog, and be as transparent and inclusive as possible.

I'm excited about these last two months and the two that will follow - I can't wait for the trip to come. I'm nervous. I'm excited. "Breath in pink, exhale blue". There's a lot of details to get into place - but... this is it, two months left. Here we go.

Pedal's 'Episode One' is a finalist in the Flux iPod Film Festival! Please take a moment to vote here. Thanks!

Pedal & the Flux Film Festival

As I mentioned recently on Project Pedal’s blog - I submitted ‘Episode One: From the Beginning’ to the 2007 Flux iPod Film Festival.

I just found out that it was 1 of the 5 videos selected for their “Kitchen Sink” category (the category for everything else that’s not a feature length or a short film)!

What happens now? A combination of judges and voters (anyone) help decide which video is chosen.

Your help (and time) would mean very much to me! All you'd have to do is make a free account here (I promise, it’s easy and quick) and then rate ‘Episode One’ here.


Thanks so much!! Feel free to copy & paste this into emails, myspace bulletins, etc. I’ll keep everyone posted as to final results.

Digg it here.

Pedal on JETSET

First off, I am super, super excited to be on this week's JETSET show! Which, I should mention, just signed a licensing and distribution deal with Next New Networks, which is great news for the shows creators: Steve and Zadi. Congrats!

Secondly, I promise that Episode 4 is on it's way very, very soon - it's a bit more elaborate than the first three, and I got a very late start on it. Which is another story for another time.

So in the meantime - please check out JETSET, they did a really great job with the episode (also, if you haven't already, watch their New Orleans episode from last week, it's fantastic.) Enjoy!
