GARTH GOES HITCH-HIKING (2007)

(77 mins)

“If you haven’t hitched, you haven’t lived” Garth Goes Hitch-Hiking is a comedy documentary about the exciting alternative travelling method of hitch-hiking.

It is directed by Gregory Pakis and starring Garth Petridis. Garth Goes Hitch-Hiking is an attempt to see if Garth can hitch-hike the 3,500 kms from Melbourne to Cairns via the Snowy Fest Film Fest in Thredbo, where Gregory & Garth’s first film, The Garth Method (82mins) is screening.

Can he do it?

Will he last?

How many nights can he endure sleeping out in the open, without showering and much sleep?

Will his camera get stolen? “I have hitch hiked before” “says Garth, “but never with camera on a tripod next to me on the road, so I didn’t know what kind of danger that might attract.”

“I noticed cars slowed down because they thought I had a speed camera.”

In Garth Goes Hitch-Hiking, Garth hitches up the snowy mountains of Thredbo NSW, through to Sydney and then up to Brisbane, where he is told hitch hiking is illegal because of Daniel Morcombe’s then recent disappearance.
