MOTHERLOAD is Everywhere

Predictably, the first several MOTHERLOAD screenings have been clustered out here in the west (images are from Bend, OR on left and Hood River, OR on the right). But, as of this week, there are over 40 MOTHERLOAD events scheduled between September 11 and November 20! And they are ALL OVER: Australia, Belgium, Czech Republic, Norway, Tuscon, Denver, Carborro, a handful in the UK....
Happily, there is WAY too much information to include here.

Find info on all UPCOMING SCREENINGS on our website.
In one of the best things to ever happen to MOTHERLOAD, the cargo bike moms of Bend, Oregon (especially Courtney Van Fossan and Amy Castano) got together to spread the word about a Bike-In Community Screening of our film at Bend Brewing.

Watch this, and you WILL believe: The Revolution is NOW!

Who can beat that?? Can you?
Why not get together your local Cargo Bike Gang, a couple iPhone cinematographers, a rad soundtrack and a small monster (doesn't have to be a Sasquatch), and see if you can top that Bend-energy with your own REVOLUTION IS NOW promo video for your local MOTHERLOAD event! ...This could be SO fun.

Our "theatrical run" at the Rafael was a mixed bag....

The film was booked for the last week of July, with a possible extension into August, so I shared this news everywhere I could. Unbeknownst to me, things shifted at the Rafael and at the very last minute, our shows were reduced to Friday & Saturday at noon and Sunday at 4:15. My apologies to those that planned to attend an evening show at this gorgeous theater. I was heartbroken myself. To some people, bikes are very 'niche,' unworthy of adult timeslots, and sometimes even a turn signal.

The Q & A, however, was really wonderful! For the first time I felt really comfortable and proud discussing this film and this movement. I loved seeing so many old friends in the crowd. The post-screening discussion inspired a standing ovation, and my twins' beloved kindergarten teacher took the photo above!

 
Post-Show Skype Q & A with Director Liz Canning

I think I'm getting pretty good at this Q & A thing. So, to keep things green and affordable, while also making connections and inspiring change, we have added a Skype Q & A to the MOTHERLOAD Store. I will take questions from your audience following your screening--no travel expenses incurred!

Also Available NOW at the MOTHERLOAD Store

A fresh batch of t-shirts is finally online and ready to go: 6.1 oz. 100% pre-shrunk cotton Hanes Tagless T's in Deep Royal. Sizes: Youth XS, S, M, L and Adult S, M, L, XL. Get'em while we have'em!
MOTHERLOAD Screening Formats

Because DVD is an old, standard definition format, and because shipping to Australia just seems dumb, we are offering use of a downloadable HD movie file for screenings. Aside from a requirement that you keep this file private and delete it immediately following your show, this should make screenings easier and greener while improving the viewing experience!
