10 MPH is great fun and heart-warming, May 23, 2007
This review is from: 10 mph - Seattle to Boston (DVD)
10 MPH is great fun and heart-warming. If you're a city dweller, you deserve a taste of what the rest of the US is like. The only thing better than actually seeing this film is that you can't help being happy for the filmmakers that they got to put their vision, talents, and sense of adventure to such good use. They embody this line from Howard Thurman, "Don't ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive."
One thing that really made me want to see 10 MPH was this comment by Sam Chaffos, Documentaries Programing Director for the 2006 Vail Film Festival: " . . . the moving experience shown in your film transcends the screen and infects the audience in a way that I don't know can be properly expressed through words. Maybe it's just where I happen to be in my own life at the moment, but I doubt it. The deft editing and subtle power of the courage, friendship, humour, and adventure conveyed in 10 mph is unlike almost any documentary I've seen, and I thank you personally for exposing so much. It amounts to an unbelievably powerful piece of art."

Courageous achievement, May 22, 2007
This review is from: 10 mph - Seattle to Boston (DVD)
These guys have achieved something I think many of us dream about but rarely act upon. They gave up their run of the mill corporate jobs, risked serious debt, but with courage took a massive risk and it's paid off. I really admire their bravery. Their take on life whilst travelling across the USA is refreshingly eye opening. The people they meet along the way give a view of life that is rarely heard of - or at least over here in the UK! Very inspiring film that makes the viewer take a look at their own lives too.

Anxious for the film release, May 24, 2007
This review is from: 10 mph - Seattle to Boston (DVD)
I got to view this film at the Vail Film festival to a standing room only crowd. If you are looking for something to make you feel good about America and at the same time examine your own desires for exploring something that you have always dreamed of doing this is the film for you. The music keeps rapping in my head, ( its worth the watch just for the music), and the visual images captured on screen make this one flick you must add to you list of MUST sees.
