» The Basics: Tell a Friend

Word of mouth goes a long way for indie films! Obviously we don't have the budget to plaster our film on the side of every building and highway we can get our hands on... so we rely heavily on awesome people who find our film, like it, and decide to tell someone else about it.

Send your Facebook friends a message to our making-of series, and be sure to let them what you think of it. Click here to recommend our film on StumbleUpon. You can simply click and move on if you like - or take a moment to write a short review for other StumbleUpon users. Want to add our project to your list of favorite blogs on Technorati? Clicking here will save our production blog in your blogroll for others to see. Be sure to let us know you're out there telling other people so we can thank you properly on We Heart You Too

There's countless ways to spread the word: Twitter, link-love, IMing, emailing, sky writing, et cetera. Be as creative or as straight forward as you'd like. I suppose there's also physically approaching someone and verbally telling them about Pedal... but that's crazy talk.

» Want to be in FToM?

We are so excited about reaching out to other travelers, and using all the amazing experiences we've had, and all the beautiful places we've seen, to build a real sense of being connected by the road we've all shared at different points in time.

All you need to do to be a part of For Thousands of Miles is upload any pictures or videos to Stockpile (in doing so you're granting us permission to include those materials in the film under a Creative Commons license).

On top of sharing them with us, you're also putting them out into the world for other people to enjoy - people who perhaps are planning their own trips and are in need of inspiration, or maybe people who have take the exact same route as you might have years ago and are looking to reminisce :)
