Yeah, as the person sifting through gazillions of submissions and also searching the web to find filmmakers to approach, I found that the vast majority of these videos are men on tour. Then again, the vast majority of tour videos have a really limited audience - they're great if it's about you or your friends, but not that interesting to the general public. Our festival's mission is to inspire people to travel by bike, and we want to inspire everyone! Not just men So as a result, we have about 10 exciting films of all types. I'm pretty excited! And the whole jury was especially excited by our winning film.
