The Hitchhiking Movie to Premiere at Secret City Film Festival
Nashville, TN — September 24, 2009 — Nashville based filmmakers Ryan Jeanes and Phillip Hullquist are premiering their first feature film The Hitchhiking Movie on October 9th at the Secret City Film Festival in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. The movie follows the pair’s attempt to cross the entire continental United States in less than a week, using nothing more than their thumbs.
“After over a year of work on this project, we can finally see The Hitchhiking Movie play on the big screen,” said Hullquist, who also served as editor for the film, which is already receiving positive reviews and press. First time filmmakers often times get bogged down in the overwhelming amount of work involved in actually completing a movie, but as Jeanes explains, “The real work is done in the editing room. Successfully filming our hitchhiking adventure was an accomplishment, but I was more excited when we had the finished product. The positive reviews have just made the experience sweeter.”

Ryan and Phillip are already working on their second adventure film titled The River is Life which tells stories from the people they meet on a paddling trip down the entire Mississippi River. Flim blogger Mike Longaecker wrote a short piece on the project here. They're just over 1000 miles into the trip and you can observe their progress from this website: http://www.theriverislife.com.
Additionally, screener requests can be sent to phillip@11visions.com. Phillip won't be able to send out any more DVDs until October due to more taping work on the Mississippi River project, but will get them out promptly after leaving New Orleans.
Got a Press Release, something to Plug, or a Screener available for review (or some combination of the three)? Ok, well don't get all crazy about it. Just click here and give me the details - I'll handle the rest.
