The Cross Canada Project

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. The end result is "The Cross Canada Project", a 62 Minute long documentary.

If you are interested in screening "The Cross Canada Project" please Contact me. DVD's are for sale until I run out of copies.

The Cross Canada Project will be playing at VIMFF 2010!

January 17, 2010

I just received an email from VIMFF (The Vancouver International Mountain Film Festival) letting me know that they will be showing The Cross Canada Project on January 26th at 7:30PM at the H.R. MacMillan Space Centre. I couldn't be happier about this, because VIMFF looks absolutely awesome. They've offered me free passes and the opportunity to introduce my film and answer questions, but the cost of getting to Vancouver from New Zealand is way too expensive. The festival looks insanely good and certainly worth attending. From the program it seems like it will be part of a "World Travels on Bikes evening" with two other movies, which look pretty epic (Alaska to Patagonia in 2 years.. wow!).

Reviews of The Cross Canada Project

November 5, 2009

One Less Car has a little review of The Cross Canada Project, as does you are the engine and Shaun's 2010 Cycle Tour website. Crazy guy on a Bike has a nice review of the movie as well, including a review of the screening at the Canadian Sport Film Festival. Nice to read that someone was impressed at my beard growing skills!

DVDs Almost Gone!

November 15, 2009

I am now down to a less than a single box of DVDs, which is good news for the space under my desk! I probably won't be printing off another batch, so order the dvd if you want a copy. Thanks to everyone that has ordered one so far, it's really meant a lot! DVD's have successfully made it to Canada, United States, Australia, United Kingdom, Italy, Spain, and South Korea! Very cool!

The Cross Canada Project at The Canadian Sport Film Festival

October 20, 2009

The 20009 Canadian Sport Film Festival was held in Toronto on October 2nd and 3rd and The Cross Canada Project screened along with "Punch Like A Girl" at Innis Town Hall. Even though I was on the other side of the world, I was really nervous that something would mess up, like the tape I had sent wouldn't play or something. I'm happy to say that everything worked great. The festival mailed me some of the promotional material, which was very nice!

DVD's are now shipping!

July 8, 2009

The good news is that last week, 2 big boxes of DVD's arrived for me at work! The bad news is that I'm no longer able to receive packages at work (seriously). The DVD's look great, and I've shipped out all the pre-orders today. I expect they'll still take a few weeks being shipped air from New Zealand. The DVD packaging contains a clue to a hidden part of the website where I've stashed various photos and videos including a downloadable video of the aborted first draft of this movie I did back in January 2006. The inside of the DVD case is very cool too and I put a lot of work into it. It has (in reallllly small text) every journal entry that I wrote during the trip printed on it. So now that I have the DVD's, orders placed will ship next day. So go buy the dvd!
