Within Reach
Cleveland, New Mexico,

 Our Mission is to create a film about how Sustainable Communities function throughout the USA, and how we went from cars and houses to bicycles and tents in search of a more joy-filled life.
In 2008-2010, Mandy and Ryan bike-packed 6,500 miles around the USA using solar-powered electronics and leg-powered bicycles to visit 100 sustainable communities. The project depicts their realistic experience of seeking out and living in a sustainable community, and lessons learned along the way.
To participate in the production of this film, or learn more about the community they now live in, Hummingbird Community), please give us a call at 505.718.4818 or email info@withinreachmovie.com.
In the spirit of co-creation,
Mandy and Ryan
