Narrated by Jason Rosette

A must listen for any bootstrapping creative or entrepreneur!

10,000 Miles to Go: An American Filmmaking Odyssey focuses on the making of an award winning contemporary feature film, which was successfully bootstrapped against monumental odds with near-zero funding, yet which made its way to numerous international sales and broadcasts and a place in the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), NYC, films collection. From concept through worldwide international sales, 10,000 Miles to Go takes you through through the entire process - warts and all - stripping away the glamour of the movie business to reveal what it takes to bootstrap and execute an ambitious startup creative project with maximum impact on a minimal budget.

10,000 Miles to Go is a fascinating and insightful listen for all kinds of bootstrappers and entrepreneurs, whether working in media, business, creative fields, or tech startup areas! Told in a conversational and often humorous style, 10,000 Miles to Go is a real life chronicle and expression of what many of today's creative and entrepreneurial types - in all fields - will encounter as they pursue their own particular dreams, ambitions, and explorations.

Reviews for 10,000 Miles to Go

[Audio Phil · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I love behind the scenes, real 'making of' stories like this.The author-narrator is discussing a super-challenging documentary project (and other films) he made, but I think the message applies to other creative efforts and entrepreneurial/bootstrap situations.
