“Why Walk 1,000 Miles?” Inspired by a true story, this “narradoc” by filmmaker Tara Golden follows an actor from L.A. as he walks the entire length of Scotland and England. Judging from this trailer, the feature-length version looks promising.

Peace Walker is the story of a creative journey to the United Kingdom to make a film about world peace. Originally inspire d by Peace Pilgrim, a woman who walked for peace for 28 years, director Tara Golden conceived of the idea of a film that would combine a narrative story line and a documentary journey. The idea was an attempt to create a new genre in filmmaking by mixing the powerful story of a man who does a peace walk with the real life adventure of walking every step of way through Scotland and England. The plan was to meet interesting local charactors along the 1100 mile hike and to integrate them into the story, and it worked, up until a point. Chase Korte, an actor from LA was cast as Ray, a man who loses his brother in the Iraq war and who is spiritually moved to make a peace pilgrimage. Chosen from over 500 actors who applied, Chase left a life of auditions and commericals in California and took a giant leap of faith by agreeing to jump into the journey. The hike started well in John O'Groats on June 5th but along the way we faced conflict, creative differences and a car accident. Two crew members decided not to go on further than Glasgow. With only two of us left we found that we were not able to make the film as planned and restructured the film as a documentary. Ultimately we found the journey was really a search for our own peace.The film evolved into the story of two possibly crazy Americans who were determined to make the journey and hike no matter what.

I am very sorry to inform all of you of Chase's untimely death this week in a car crash...I am in shock myself about it, and don't really have the words to express what this means to his family and close friends.
