Can you help promote a documentary on the most grueling bicycle race in the world?
The Race Across America (http://www.raceacrossamerica.org/) is a 3000+ mile bicycle race unlike any other. The clock doesn't stop until the end; there are no time stages. It's a 12 day race where the race keeps going through darkness, wind and rain, and the human drama unfolds minute by minute.
What makes this a story worth telling is not only the showcase of the indomitable human spirit, but also the stories of the individuals who compete. They come from around the globe and support causes ranging from cancer research to supporting the animal world. They are true leaders, yet they're just like you and me. They have incredible stories to share, and we want to make that happen. Our team includes an Emmy-winning director and successful producer with great film distribution connections.
We're looking for corporate sponsorships of this project in a variety areas. Please see the list below, and let me know if you might be able to help. There are a lot of pieces we need to get in place before leaving Dallas, TX on June 2. Thanks for your help and support!
Gasoline cards - we'll have three vehicles traveling nearly 6000 miles, and that's a lot of gas!
Vehicle Sponsorships - we'd love to go green with our production vehicles.
Equipment - we'll be using a series of high-end production equipment and could use a sponsorship from Panasonic, Sony or other industry leader
Food and Beverage - we could use gift cards for various restaurants or sponsorship from a large food and beverage manufacturer
Publicity - we're looking for coverage of our production story and the resulting documentary.
We're open to a lot of other sponsorship opportunities, so please ask if you think of something not on this list! We'll be offering some great publicity opportunities for our sponsors. Please email me directly to discuss ben (at) reel-review (dot) com
