directed by Hunter Weeks
* Director/producer Hunter Weeks and producer Josh Caldwell are scheduled to attend.
When their office jobs become soul-numbing, Josh Caldwell and Hunter Weeks ditch the cubicles and hit the open road. The plan is to travel from Seattle to Boston at 10 mph, with Josh riding a Segway and Hunter directing a documentary about the experience. Their goal - to capture a true sense of what America is all about.
The journey unfolds with beautiful scenery, humble American stories, Segway goofiness, and a road trip that is like no other. They meet many interesting characters, including a couple of laid-back sheriffs in Idaho, a cross-country motorcycle group in Wyoming, a stone mason in Kansas, a monster truck driver in Missouri, and a guy who wears four hats in New Hampshire.
