I am currently in the twin cities area promoting the private screening of, "Beyond the Epic Run," a film, which is of great interest to runners everywhere. We just screened it in San Antonio and Washington DC and got great reviews.

Our Minneapolis screening is Thursday, March 12, 2009 at 7:15pm at Oak Street Cinema at 309 Oak St. SE, Minneapolis, MN 55414.

This will be a fun event for all. The screening is FREE for everyone. We are just trying to get exposure before it is released nationwide later this year. The producer, Thomas Sammon, will be in the theatre answering questions and getting feedback immediately following the private screening. After the q and a, we will give away a variety of fun prizes. It's a win-win.

“Beyond the Epic Run,” is a feature film documentary about a husband and wife who sold all their belongings to literally run around the world. Over a five-year period, Serge Roetheli ran over 25,400 miles with his dedicated wife by his side, following on a Yamaha motorcycle. The movie is an inspiring tale told through the diary entries of his wife, Nicole Roetheli. Countless hours of actual footage from Nicole’s camera have been cut and edited into a spellbinding and captivating film. The couple experienced, firsthand, things that few other people have ever even seen on television.

Serge and Nicole challenged their minds, bodies and commitment to each other. They looked death in the face and have lived to tell an amazing tale. Their drive and motivation to achieve the unimaginable plays out before your very eyes, even after they both suffered from potentially deadly attacks of Malaria and a variety of unforeseeable obstacles. Their journey took them through vast deserts, war zones, hurricanes and some of the toughest conditions man can face.

I don’t personally know anyone in the local running community, which is why I seek your help in filling the theater for the screening. It is totally free to attend for all guests. It will cost you nothing. I just need your help spreading the word. In exchange, I would happily give you table space for any promotional material you may have at the screening. We are hoping for a crowd of 350 people.

This is going to be more than just a private movie screening. It’s a great networking event and a rare opportunity to attend a private movie screening before it goes nationwide. This truly is a one night event in your area. I hope you will be a part of it.

The reason Serge ran was to make an impact on the world. He was running for the children and then later for a humanitarian effort that gives sight to the blind. Everything he did was selfless. Please take this opportunity to share this film with your friends, family and community. Your support is appreciated and needed to make this a successful screening.

I really appreciate your time and consideration. I would encourage you to watch the movie trailer at: www.BeyondtheEpicRun.com
