Congratulations to MPI filmmaker R.J. Daniel Hanna, whose new film Hard Miles is now playing in theaters across the country. The uplifting film, based on a true story, follows a prison social worker who assembles a cycling team of teenage convicts and takes them on a transformative 1,000-mile ride. The film stars acclaimed actor Matthew Modine (Stranger Things, Full Metal Jacket), who Hanna previously directed in the MPI Original film Miss Virginia.

A group of MPI filmmakers attended a screening of the film in Los Angeles, California, last week. The screening was followed by a private Q&A with Dan to discuss the filmmaker process. Catch Hard Miles at a theater near you!
