Experiencing Interruptions?

14000 Miles

A young man searching for truth in a truthless age. As a globalized world grows into fruition the mixing of cultures, science, and religion has left a void where honest ignorant certainty filled in the past. Belief systems are challenged, and it seems all that is left is the individual experience. Did those who came before us understand and hold something that the modern world has sacrificed in the honor of progress? A young man partakes on a journey alone across North America looking to see if there was a memory, or existence of that sacrifice left. Driving 14,000 miles in 64 days, conducting 50 interviews ranging from billionaires to poor farmers, and members of Gen Z to Centenarians. An answer is found, perhaps it is wrong, but that is for you to decide.

Director Biography - BJorn Stickle

Bjorn Stickle is a Canadian and Norwegian-American filmmaker and psychological researcher whose work bridges cinematic storytelling and behavioral science. With a background in 3D character animation and a BA and MA in Psychology, his films often explore mental health through emotionally grounded, research-informed narratives.

His IRB-approved animated short Unease (2024) was used in a university study on anxiety and public perception. His second animated short, focusing on Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD), is the foundation of his MA thesis and will be completed in July 2025. He is also directing a third narrative short, independent of research, for release in 2026.

Bjorn’s documentary work includes the NASA- and U.S. Senate-recognized 14000 Miles (2021), the zero-budget Light on Your Feet (2019), and Unarranged (2025), a $200K feature documentary entering the film festival circuit in July 2025.

His work has screened everywhere from Times Square to Oslo’s Central Station, but for Bjorn, the true impact of filmmaking lies in the conversations it starts and the perspectives it shifts.
