Historic Camping & Teardrop Trailer Film -DVD and on Dem

For the past year and a half, I've been working on a film about historic camping and teardrop trailers. At last, I can say it is done (see the preview here: http://www.overlandtrailer.com/the-film/)

As an educator, I wanted a resource to use in my history classroom that shows the effect of mass produced transportation, national park camping desitnations, and the effects of WWII on the RV & teardrop industry.

I've found that this 55 min film has a broader appeal than its intended audience (high school students).

This is a not-for-profit project. The proceeds from this project go to:
    paying off the overhead for making the film
    sending free copies to high schools
    to start a fund for like-minded educators to make similar outdoor-themed film projects.


If you'd like to stream or download the film, you can get it through Amazon.com here: http://www.amazon.com/Historic-Camping-Teardrop-Trailers/dp/B005IXQR7E/ref=sr_1_1?s=instant-video&ie=UTF8&qid=1314232235&sr=1-1

If you'd like a physical copy, you can get one here: http://www.storenvy.com/stores/14080-overland-trailer

Thank-you to Mike and everyone on this forum who helped with this project.

Many thanks to everyone who is supporting the cause so far.

At this point, I can send out 6 copies of the film to schools! A great start.

Cheers,

Glad you got it Chris. I hope you enjoy the show.

I am shipping now. The manufacturer was faster than they thought they'd be. It will also be up on Amazon when they get around to approving my files.

Let me know what you think.

Hi Mark,

I got the DVD today, all I say WOW what a great film. Great history lesson. I watched it with my daughter who is in 7th grade. I'll be ordering another copy to donate to her history class. Thanks again for taking the time to put this together and for being a caring teacher for our children.

Great Job Mark! I love the film. I'm getting it on Blu Ray. Thanks for the time and effort you put into this project. I'm sure it will inspire the young folk to leave their rooms and pc's behind and get out and do things. Again, Great Job!
