Atlanta Journal-Constitution A stand-up-and-cheer documentary worth standing up and cheering for. -Bob Longino
2.
After graduating college, Eric Saperston set out on a summer vacation. He took his Golden Retriever, Jack, hopped into a 1971 Volkswagen bus and set out on the road to capture the collective wisdom of our most thoughtful elders. He wanted to interview them and learn from their experiences. Along the way, his trip turned into a modern day Wizard of Oz. When Eric started, all he had with him was a still camera and a journal to document his adventures. As the journey unfolded, he purchased a video camera, picked up three other travelers and they found their way into the homes and hearts of people most of us only dream of meeting. In the end, although the wisdom they found from the elders was compelling, it was their own journeys that brought them the greatest insights. Just like the song says, "Oz never gave nothing to the Tin Man that he didn't already have."
Sometimes You Take A Trip. Sometimes The Trip Takes You.
After college, Eric Saperston bought a 1971 Volkswagen Bus, took his Golden Retriever Jack, and set out to follow the Grateful Dead and work a ski season in Aspen. While out on the road, he called up some of the most powerful and influential people in the world and asked them out for a cup of coffee. What started out as a personal journey to find the answers to life's biggest questions-Why am I here? How can I find happiness? What is success?-quickly turned into something much bigger than he ever had imagined. As the journey unfolded, it attracted the attention of three others: Dave Murcott, Paige O'Brien and Kathleen Kelly. They too felt disconnected and were searching for purpose and meaning in their lives. So they quit their jobs, risked it all and jumped on the bus. One man's summer vacation quickly became four people's vacation. This team of eager travelers meandered across the country, from Atlanta, Ga., to Seattle, Wash., shot 500 hours of footage and interviews more than 200 people in search of wisdom and inspiration from the famous and not so famous.
Together, the four of them and their dog Jack covered thousands of miles, endured three rebuilt engines and crossed countless state lines. They scheduled their interviews from payphones, funded their trip by selling sexy, kind grilled cheese sandwiches made with love for $1 off their Coleman Stove and found their way into the homes and hearts of people most of us only dream of meeting.
