From basket weaving in college to bike weaving on the Pennsylvania trails THE WEAVERS just keep on weaving.  In late October of last year, just before the fall foliage fell, Director James Bartolomeo teamed for a second time with his Red Tettemer comrades on a sequel to this popular web film.  This time the biking group has taken a meditative cabin retreat outside of Philadelphia to honor a lost member.  Through the winding odyssey a siren’s call may threaten the weaving way of life.  Interlaced with this shoot was another PA Tourism web series, Peter Arthur, set to premiere in early spring.
