The end is near

as the end of the semester approaches our crew has been finalizing some elusive interviews.  This coming Friday we will be interviewing James Doss, the chef and owner of RX restaurant.  His business model is centered around using small, local family farms and fisheries in North and South Carolina.  They order while pigs, and butcher it themselves to be sure the entire pig is used.  It is a positive step towards sustainable farming, and a middle step for customers who want to be more conscious of where their food is coming from.  After being a part of this documentary, I have made the switch to a plant based diet with the exception of RX, and thats the truth.  I know where the food is coming from, and I am willing to pay a little extra for cruelty free and a step towards sustainability.

Cucalorus 10x10

My god what a busy weekend.  Jocabed was chosen as a filmmaker for the Cucalorus 10x10 challenge which partnered 10 filmmakers and 10 entrepreneurs with the task of filming a promotional video for the company during the festival week to be screened on Sunday.  This was truly an amazing opportunity, that mirrored the real world scenario of working with a client to produce an video in a short amount of time.  I am very thankful Jocabed trusted my work enough to ask me to partner with her on this project.  Our entrepreneur was named Michelle, and her company was called Creative Unions Event Design.  The company specializes in curating creative unions, which are weddings that incorporate contemporary art.  We were randomly partnered with this company, and met them to discuss the video Tuesday night.  Jocabed and I then spent the next few days filming and editing her video. In between that, I bartended the afterparty at jengos playhouse from 11-3am friday and saturday.  I saw jocabeds film "unfiltered" alongside "working in protest" and I also got to see "everything beautiful is far away."  I also got to watch all the other videos the other filmmakers shot for 10x10.  It was very impressive. and quite a long weekend
