Twelve videos that follow a semi-fictional hero's journey as we bike tour across Eastern Europe.
We will create twelve video episodes of a semi-fictional hero's quest based on our own two month bike tour throughout Eastern Europe. These will be hosted on a multi-media blog along with other writing, movies, photo-journalism, songs, and interviews that tell the step-by-step story of the twelve stage hero's quest.
Rather than following a traditional map and knowing 'where' to go, we'll follow the archetypal adventure and 'how' to go.
The following are the twelve chapters and the projected dates of their publication:
5/22 - Call to Adventure ✓
5/29 - Supernatural Aid
6/10 - First Threshold
6/18 - Belly of the Whale
6/26 - Road of Trials
7/4 - Meeting with the Goddess
7/12 - Atonement with Father
7/20 - Apotheosis
7/28 - Ultimate Boon
8/2 - Magic Flight
8/10 - Return Threshold
8/17 - Master of Two Worlds
