Over the past few months, my roommate Ben and I have been in the process of pitching a web-based video series, and I'm pleased to announce that yesterday, we finally finalized contract details with a website who will be giving us money to make the series a reality.
So, at the website ToTheTrials.com we will be creating a sort of web-tv-show called "3000 Miles to the Trials." The videos will document the journey Ben and I undertake as we drive cross-country to attend the Olympic Track and Field Trials in Eugene, Oregon (which begin June 27th). We are aiming for a "mockumentary" feel that we hope will be pretty funny, in the vein of shows like "The Office" or movies like "Best In Show." You can see a trailer at ToTheTrials.com to get a sense of the kind of thing we try to do.
We are ALWAYS open to comments and criticism, and, hopefully, if you know of anyone who is a runner or a fan of competitive running, maybe you could even mention the website to them!
