About
So the initial idea was to travel Route 66--experience the history, the people, and the adventure of the open road, and document the entire journey. As we went to work on the project, we began to realize that the adventure didn't have to wait till the big trip began. It could start right now.
Four guys set out with the intention of seeing the people and the places of their own backyard. A weekend trip in which the journey is the destination.
300 miles of open road, from backyard BBQ to indie-pop, from the speedway to the Blue Ridge Mountains, the adventure starts now.

Very cool. Are you going to release the whole film altogether after all of the parts air? Putting Jacob Zachary on the soundtrack was a good move. Looking forward to episode 3!

Dude, the movie is seriously amazing!!! It just kills me that I have to wait a week between each episode--or maybe it's sheer brilliance. Love the music--I find the songs stuck in my head throughout the week--can't wait to hear more from these artists. It's gonna be big.
