Los Angeles, CA July 13, 2012:  Four years ago, Ryan Mlynarczyk and Mandy Creighton set out from the San Francisco Bay Area on their bicycles, after giving up their house, jobs and cars, in search of a sustainable life. WITHIN REACH MOVIE explores their pedal-powered search for a place to call home in a sustainable community.

They were not searching for property in the right neighborhood.  They were on a quest for community - the secret ingredient to a sustainable life. Along the way, they explored Ecovillages, Cohousing Communities, Co-op Houses, Communes, Transition Towns and their own principles and commitment.  In the end they returned to the timeless truth that community is people; they are everywhere; and there is room for everyone.

Their journey and film has answered questions that they and many others are asking:  How can we pass along a lush, beautiful, sustainable world to future generations? Is it even possible? And why is it our moral imperative at global citizens? After circling the country and interviewing hundreds of Americans, they have found that by reaching within sustainable community is Within Reach. In fact, it’s already here.
