What is the ALT Project

Winner of 5 Telly Awards

Honored with the 2011 Overland Flag

The ALT Project combines overland motorcycle travel with topics of history, to create documentaries that aim to reveal the American Character, with its dynamic quality and fragility.”ALT” stands for the alternate means of travel, utilizing alternate routes. Our goal is to create straight forward, travelogue documentariesof our travels; the good, the bad, the right choices we made, and the wrong choices as well.Traveling across our nation is not a unique act. However, with every journey, a unique story develops. It is made up of the experiences of each individual and how that bonds with the stories of others.These are our stories, the people and lands they love.Timeline
