GJ Echternkamp of Bionic Films fame hired Black Dollar Productions to create a site for his wacko Ray Charles fan letters. Is there a better place for wacko fan letters than the internet? And so letterstoray.com was born.

The Cannonball Run Scavenger Hunt was a bicycle scavenger hunt organized by Urban Bike Assault recreating the magic of the Cannonball Run on the streets of LA.
Black Dollar Productions rode along and filmed the ride. The short film documenting the day’s events went on to play in the 2006 Bicycle Film Festival in LA, the 2006 Filmed by Bike in Portland, and the 2007 Celluloid Cycles film festival in Melbourne.
