About Chasing The Sun

In 1973 a man in a little known American University set out to discover the most energy efficient creature on earth. The experiment has since entered into legend and is now more relevant to our world than ever before: a human being on a bicycle is the most efficient being on the planet.

The bicycle can enable ordinary people to do extraordinary things, like Chase The Sun- an event where people ride coast to coast, 200 miles or more in a single day, fuelled only by sandwiches, energy bars, cups of tea and good cheer.

And it has the potential to do something much more extraordinary. At a time of energy crisis, of climate catastrophe caused by energy misuse, the bicycle can take a front line position in the fight against climate change. One pedal stroke at a time.

Ned Boulting and Jools Walker will share how cycling has shaped their lives and continues to play a major role in everyday London living. Chasing The Sun will be a dynamic and entertaining film that opens up a wide conversation about the powerful place of the bicycle in our lives and communities, showing how the bicycle can lead the way to better health and well-being as well as a means to help reduce pollution and combat the climate crisis.

2x BAFTA Award-winning Director Michael B.Clifford talks about what's inspiring the film:

We have created a new short teaser film to give you a taste of what we aim to do in Chasing The Sun:

We need your help! Can you support Chasing The Sun?

We want to offer you something unique to help us get the first funds in so we can film at this year's and next year's CTS event which will form a core part of the whole feature length documentary film. It will have its World Premiere in Autumn 2023 ahead of a UK-wide cinema release.

£100 gets YOUR NAME in the credits of the film.

It also gets you a HD digital edition of the film to download forever. You get this after the World Premiere BUT before anyone else sees it.

On top of that you will get a 10 minute extra feature with an interview with the film's 2x BAFTA-winning director. This extra will be only for those who take up this offer.

On top of all that goodness every person who takes up the offer will go into a prize draw with the winner getting 4 VIP tickets to the World Premiere of the film in London along with invitations to the after party.

We are only releasing 100 of these so get yours now.

Of course, we would be super-grateful for all contributions to help get the film made, but only those contributing £100 or over will qualify for the special film credit benefits package.

Thanks to everyone in advance as we pursue our dream of Chasing The Sun.
