Mike Beauchamp's - The Cross Canada Project (1995)

Mike Beauchamp of Windsor completed a cross-Canada bicycle tour in 1995. What is unique about this experience is the no-nonsense approach to creating a unique documentary perspective of his experience in the The Cross Canada Project. From the beginnings of creating his own D.I.Y. recording system and other modifications at his home in Windsor, Mike takes us on a journey across 8,000km of Canada's landmass and delivers his audiences a compelling perspective about bicycle journies and the reasons for doing them. Mike has DVD editions for sale on his self-entitled website, order one as a gift for a friend -it's a great film!
Here's a look at the film, and I think the DVD is better quality. Mike also explains the technical aspects of creating the "bullet camera" which makes this documentary truly unique. Great job Mike, it's awesome!
