“It’s exciting to be making it so easy for people to watch 10 MPH. And I’m thrilled to be helping shape this new digital landscape for distributing films,” said Hunter Weeks, producer/director of 10 MPH and the upcoming 10 Yards. “It’s pretty sweet to get all this help from OurStage and its community.”

10 MPH begins with an impulsive purchase of a Segway, a self-balancing scooter, setting a story in motion of two friends who travel from Seattle to Boston at 10 m.p.h. in an attempt to change their lives forever. The film illustrates the importance of seizing the moment and appreciating all that life has to offer as Josh Caldwell and Hunter Weeks quit their corporate jobs and hit the road to pursue their dreams of film making. The documentary has been screened at festivals from coast to coast, winning several awards including three for best documentary. The DVD released in May of 2007 and is available for rental via popular services such as Netflix and Blockbuster’s Total Access, and for purchase on Amazon.com and 10mph.com. 10 MPH has also been widely recognized as one of the first DIY films, both in terms production and distribution. The filmmakers have published a DIY manual to highlight how they successfully self-distributed the film.
