YERT: Your Environmental Road Trip (2011)
outstanding. positive, humorous. effective. entertaining.
I can't speak highly enough of not only the YERT film, but their entire production. They walk the talk. They spent the many years they produced this film, living the smaller footprint lives they lived while filming their journey. I've known them for over 4.5 years since I met them at the Green Festival (i'm briefly in that segment of this film! :) I was in the process at the time I met them of embarking on my own very similar environmental road trip film (by bicycle) to visit 100 sustainable communities (www.withinreachmovie.com). I have forever been inspired by their effort to hold on to the trash they produce. In fact I have lived with a bunch of our trash since my partner decided to do the same thing to build a house with someday! :) All in all their use of humor instead of fear has been so refreshing and the most effective tool to keep me (and hopefully others) not only interested in saving the planet, but inspired. See this film for it's great flow, diverse range of topics that cover the entire range of environmental solutions, and for it's pure entertainment. ~ Ryan Mlynarczyk, Director "Within Reach" movie, Co-Owner Reach Within Productions (www.reachwithinproductions.com)
Wanderlust (2012)
Lingers positively in my Psyche...looking forward to Within Reach "the Real" wanderlust story
Wanderlust has lingered positively in my psyche the past couple days since i went to the opening in Madison, WI
I am shocked that they did such a wonderful job of balancing poking fun at the IC movement with refraining from slandering the movement. They even made fun of the mainstream world even more (with the negativity portrayed by people in the mainstream).
I was even more shocked that they put some GREAT political statements in, and even showed some of the positive sides of the IC movement.
My partner Mandy and I are actually releasing soon a documentary called "Within Reach" which is about our similar story to these main characters. We left our corporate jobs in 2007, got on bicycles, and traveled 6500 miles around the USA for 2 years to visit 100 sustainable intentional communities. look for our movie spring 2012. it's on IMDb. just look up within reach. or go to withinreachmovie . com
Found myself craving the wonderful connections those people in the movie had...and realize why I made my movie again. :)
I am moving to Dancing Rabbit Ecovillage with Mandy as of March 3 in Rutledge, MO
Come visit us and stay at A REAL Intentional community B&B Eco-inn the "Milkweed Mercantile at Dancing Rabbit Ecovillage.
By the way I could totally tell that the movie "Together" influenced "Wanderlust!" (naked lady in the kitchen...naked guy in the house) ;) (i have been in touch with the Director David Wain and he told me "Together" is a favorite of his...i love it too...it's about a commune in Sweden"
by the way..they sure picked a guy with a long penis. why? i would have picked a guy with a more "average" sized penis ;) just a curiosity ;)
