MCLEAN, Va., April 4, 2014 (Korea Bizwire) – Award-winning independent director and producer, Trish Dalton and editor  and cinematographer, John Sears, will be setting out on a 10-week  journey across the country to explore the true fabric of America’s  economy – small businesses. Sponsored by Spark Business from Capital  One, the “I Am Small Business Proud” campaign will shine a spotlight on  the backbone of this country’s economy.

The two filmmakers departed from New York City on April 3, and over the  course of the next 10 weeks will travel more than 7,000 miles to over 35  cities, gathering exclusive content and insights into the lives of small  business owners, from the shores of New Jersey to bustling downtown Los  Angeles. Cities on the “I Am Small Business Tour’ include Philadelphia,  Richmond (VA), Atlanta, New Orleans, Nashville, Austin, Denver, Seattle  and Los Angeles.

“As small business owners ourselves, we’re looking forward to gaining  even more knowledge of what makes a small business run and we can’t wait  to share the stories and diversity of these small business owners across  America,” said Trish Dalton. “John and I will be talking to many owners,  learning more about their passions, challenges and successes.”

“As a leading financial resource for small businesses, we understand the  value of getting close to our customers,” said Buck Stinson, Senior Vice  President for Spark. “This is a great way for us to capture a true  representation of small business owners and celebrate what they do every  single day.”

The authentic, inspiring and entertaining stories gathered throughout  the journey will be shared via social media and a new website WWW.IAMSMALLBUSINESSPROUD.COM.  Follow Trish and John’s voyage at @CAPITALONESPARK, through the hashtag  #SmallBizProud.
