What do you get when you take 3 guys, 44 days of travel through 11 countries, on 18 flights covering over 38,000 miles? You get 3 awesome short films by independent Melbourne filmmaker Rick Mereki and friends. The trip of a lifetime was actually commissioned by STA Australia and resulted in 3 ambitious concepts: Move, Eat, Learn that were accompanied by the wonderful music of Kelsey James. Be Inspired!
