He is currently in the process posting the film's trailer on video and social networking sites and raising funds for completion costs.
About the story, Gabe notes:
The film tells the story of a young man who recently completed a peace walk of no ordinary kind. Carrying a sign that read, 'Walk 'til I Drop for Peace,' he left Port Townsend, Washington early in the morning with the intent of walking non-stop and without taking on any calories (only hydrating) until he reached the point of complete physical and/or mental exhaustion. Through footage shot during his walk (both my own and that of the young man himself) as well as interviews conducted before and afterwards, the film chronicles this amazing event and serves as a portrait-in-time of a young man and his search for meaning.
Gabe has made plans with The Learning Center to do a 100-disc run of DVD's to send to future festivals & sell to the public or gift to donors.

Update: The completion of the audio CD from The Solvents saw a run of 30 discs to send out as a bonus to the DVD for the film project's donors.
