From previous 350PDX volunteer, Connor DeVane:
“At long last, my film, Hike the Divide: A Conversation about Climate Action on the Continental Divide Trail is making its debut! Beginning next Thursday, March 26th, the film will be free to the public for streaming on Vimeo, as promised!
I was planning on releasing the film around the 50th anniversary of Earth Day, but given the circumstances regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, I pushed the date ahead nearly a month so y’all could watch while practicing physical distancing. That means I’m giving up a lot of time to promote the film, so I’m hoping you can help me out by watching Hike the Divide the evening of March 26th. The idea is to emulate a live premiere by getting as many folks as possible to commit to watching on the same evening. If you’re going to be stuck at home, you may as well cozy up with a narrative of hope and agency, some sublime mountain vistas and a glorious soundtrack, right?
Please fill out this form whether you intend to watch on that evening or not. Details re: logistics are in the description of the form.
Hike the Divide has always been a grassroots, community-supported and not-for-profit endeavor — that means I’m counting on word-of-mouth promotion from people like yourself to ensure the stories within the film reach as broad an audience as possible. Please consider sharing this email or the RSVP link (https://forms.gle/ hZtsbZMX6XPFuUTY6) with your networks, as well as sharing Hike the Divide’s posts about the premiere on Instagram and Facebook (@hikethedivide). Any help you can provide along these lines is super appreciated.”
