Hi cynumber9, not much news to report except that the festival lifespan of the film is winding down so the release of the DVD is getting closer. I still can't give a date for it. Thanks for patience and support and sorry there's not more good news!
Creator cynumber9 on April 28
Any further updates on this?
Creator Gary Powell on December 21
Hi Kip! Yes thanks for the update and I can wait. I hope that I can see this film in a local theater before I get a DVD! Yep, that a festival showing leads to a major distribution package...etc. Good luck with it and let us know when and where it gets shown. ... (SIFF... Seattle International Film Festival... Traverse City.... lots of festivals would work out.!) Yours, -Gary-
Creator ponx on December 15, 2012
thanks for the update, Kipchoge! Good to hear it's still on the way. Best wishes for the festivals! Please post an update when it's showing somewhere in Germany! Cheers, ponx
Creator tricky coyote on November 28, 2012
ponx, Art, Sylvia, Thanks for writing and so sorry for the delay in getting back to you. We haven't mailed any DVDs or albums yet. The film is still in the process of going around the festival circuit. Or, rather, I should say that it's being submitted to festivals right now (so far has only played in Mexico).
Thanks so much for your support and patience. I look forward to sharing it with you and everyone else as soon as possible. Where do you live Art and ponx? Maybe it can show in a festival in your town sooner than later. Let me know if you know of any that might be appropriate. Sylvia, I look forward to it showing at the Cube! We just need to have our European premiere first (some festivals will only accept if it's the premiere).
Obviously, I'm keenly aware that I over-promised and am under-delivering. Not where I like to be at all. It's partly because of my lack of prior understanding about how the film process works, and partly because we've made the call to try to get the most out of this film and that means a particular and strategic go at the festival circuit and distribution. Unfortunately, it also means not printing DVDs or releasing it online for awhile. I'm just hoping that all the backers understand and support that decision. I would feel good about refunding backing to anyone who feels mistreated in this exchange, just let me know.
peace,
Kipchoge

Creator Third Eye on June 13, 2012
Hi Tricky Coyote. It's great to hear you guys showed the film at the Guadalajara Film Festival.
However, in receiving your update #16 I have to say hearing about DVD production and release issues makes me feel that the rewards that included the DVD will not be fulfilled. The reward I pledged for included the Signed copy of the DVD and Live Album. The Estimated Delivery is not necessarily a set date (I understand that); but I would just like to hear from you that the rewards that were promised will actually be delivered. As much as the wish for your Documentary to be funded was dear to you; as backers we also hoped to share in the experience by receiving the rewards that were promised. I hope you can send an update that will address my concerns, as I would imagine I'm not the only one concerned about the rewards.
Thank you and best of luck with your band.
Creator tricky coyote on October 20, 2011
Thanks for your sweet comments and stoked-ness everyone! Yes, Jo-lynne, it does mean you'll have to bike to Mexico to see the movie. Yippee!!! Yes, Sylvia, we'll have to attempt to pedal power it! And we'll make sure to have an HD copy for venues without 35mm projectors.
Creator Sylvia Zidek on October 17, 2011
Wow! 35mm film is so beautiful! Can we still show it at the Cube Cinema in Bristol when it's done? We have 35mm Projector, but it's just too scary to even attempt to pedal power this...

Creator tricky coyote on September 16, 2011
Thanks, Zane. I hope that we'll be at both of those festivals. May I quote you?
Creator Lia Denae on September 15, 2011
Well said, Zane!
Creator Zane Selvans on September 15, 2011
This is exactly the kind of film I always wish were at the Banff Mountain Film Festival and the Bicycle Film Festival, but they just never seem to be there. Something more meditative and thoughtful, about our relationships with the road, and the bike, and the long, slow, deep experience of human powered travel. Instead, they always seem to be filled with all this adrenaline junkie extreme sports stuff, which can be kind of fun to watch, but never really moves me, or makes me think.
Creator Joaquin Cuesta on September 14, 2011

Sending loads and LOADS of warm wishes and prosperous backing vibes to you (along with my own pledge)... the link is on my Facebook profile as of minutes ago... so at least one other source of interested peeps has been tapped! I know how hard it is to get funding going... and I know all about how nice and necessary it is to se and feel that "thing" that keeps us going when we start to wonder what the hell we are doing... totally. SO, rock on witcha! Can't wait to see it! SUERTE! xo
Creator cara on September 6, 2011
The subtitle references the now defunct space race so it fits in well with "Stuck on Earth". You could add "Boldly" before "going" as that was the wording from Star Trek. However, it is grammatically incorrect! It should be Going boldly!
Creator RIchard Jenkin on September 6, 2011
I agree with you - great title
Hank Williams: "I'll never get out of this world alive.
