I spent time talking to Peter off camera about his American dream. I think I am on the right track. Chasing a dream is difficult. I am finding people tend to be very emotional and cautious when talking about their hopes and dreams. Chasing a dream is hard work and is full of risk but it is also exciting. I am going to keep exploring Anchorage and find a good place to film and interview more people.
Out Of The Wild: An Alaskan's Adventure To Find America
My name is John. I was born and raised in Alaska. I have been hearing how the American Dream is no longer possible for my generation; how the pursuit of a college education will leave my peers and me in crippling debt; and America is no longer the beacon of hope it once was. Too many of my generation believe what they are hearing. I am not going to surrender to such news.
Using my bicycle, a tent, and a camera I will tell this story in a documentary I call “Finding My America”. I will begin in my hometown of Kodiak, Alaska on May 22, 2012. I am partnering with small businesses that will sponsor this trip. I am working with many Subway restaurant owners who are sponsoring me in exchange for a commercial I will make and post on the Internet.

Hey John,
I just met you outside the Subway on New Seward Hwy and Benson. Good luck on your trip, I'll be interested to keep up. Hope you figure out the Death Wobble.
