Entries from November 2008
We just found out that our film is the “Official Selection” of the 2009 Princeton Environmental Film Festival. Our film will be featured on January 2nd in Princeton, NJ. For more information please check out the link which is www.princetonlibrary.org/peff.
We will also show a screening at George Washington University:
Tuesday, November 18, 5:30 p.m.
George Washington University
Visitor Center
22nd & H Sts. NW.
The film chronicles a 2,000 mile bicycle trip made by Sheets, Liz Tylander, and Kat Shiffler to explore the budding environmental agriculture and local food movement. From the mid-Atlantic up into New England and Canada, they discover people and communities finding solutions to the environmental excesses of industrialized agriculture.
Free and open to the public.

Hey Everyone!
We’re finally finishing up with our distribution and it looks as though it will be passed off to our friends at DC’s 7th Street Garden, a community food project. They’re currently undergoing some major changes as they expand and move to a new site and transition to a non-profit status. In the meantime, however, we’re passing our DVD copies over to them so that the proceeds can support an actual local food project that supports those that cannot afford fresh and local produce.
But first go and support them at their next upcoming event which will feature our trailer:
Wednesday, November 19th, a 7th Street Garden fundraiser to help prep of the new site.
Film Screening of “The Garden”. The film takes you behind the scenes into one of the most incendiary L.A. situations of recent times; the fierce battle over a 14-acre community garden at 41st and Alameda streets known as the South Central Farm. “The Garden” took the top prize in June at the Silverdocs documentary festival in Washington, D.C.
@ the Goethe Theater (812 7th Street, NW). Doors 6pm. Film Starts 6:30pm. Enjoy seasonal foods and drinks.
