Sequel's Context

Peter Sherman Crosby 

is the producer, photographer, filmmaker, cyclist and host of international travel programs. His 2021 TV series "Cycling Across China with Peter Crosby" is still airing/streaming on China's ByteDance Video and global TV channel CGTN. Links to the 4 streaming episodes are here: https://bit.ly/3eOab7u   

National Geographic TV's 3-episode version aired in Asia 2022, but is off air/streaming.  We hope to add NatGeoTV's original 1994 doc about cycling China into the multi-platform content mix.

It’san internationaljourney of courage, inclusion, andgrit to illustrate our shared humanity.  

Oh My Beautiful Country is the series name because in the Chinese language the USA's most common moniker is Meî Guó (美国), Beautiful Country. Our adventure team will live, share, and document thatmutualrespectand more

We will also explore the 175 years of Chinese immigration to the USA, their history, contribution, and struggles.

Given the frequent 'Coming war with China' hype makes the stakes of my tv/film journey that much higher.   

With 320 hours of digital video footage, 9,000 photos, and 20 hours of additional audio, Peter now is whittling the stories, characters, and visuals down to the essecnce of what still makes America Beautiful.

Peter is continuing to recruit his post-production team including episodic editors, animator, social media manager, post-assistants, archivists & 2024 interns.

Promotional videos, teasers, and funding materials need to be created for crowdfunding, HNW donations, and completion grants where possible.
