In Search of Good Food: Actual Movie Update

Actual Movie Update

Guess what?
We have a rough cut!

Sascha (editor extraordinaire) magically had a couple of weeks to spare, so I dropped everything and spent the last of my money to get him out here to edit the movie...and edit he did. The final cut will be around one hour long, and could probably be finished in the next month, if all goes according to plan.

However, Sascha is back off again--this time to Japan to film the Yakuza (!), so I'm in need of someone familiar with Final Cut to finish things up: adding images and B-roll, sound fixing, adding animation and titles.

Please Please get in contact if you know anyone who may be interested in this pro-bono work!
After these things are finished, we will be organizing screenings, so if you have any opportunities for that, please get in contact as well!

Thanks!

What is this blog?

This blog chronicles the making of the movie "In Search of Good Food", as well as events and topics relating to the movie.

In Search of Good Food follows Antonio Roman-Alcalá, an urban farming activist from San Francisco, on his search for the "sustainable" food system in California.

The film attempts to answer the question: does the sustainable food system actually exist? And if it doesn't, what is preventing it from becoming reality?

Built off of footage from a two-month trip around the state in early 2008, In Search of Good Food features interviews with farmers, farmworkers, wildlife advocates, cultural biologists, university professors, historians, educators, grassroots groups, organic foods distributors, the CA secretary of agriculture, and many others who form the various arms of this movement to ensure an ongoing supply of healthy, ecologically and locally-produced, economically affordable food for all Californians.

Mixing street interviews with food consumers; the perspectives and stories of advocates; animations; and footage of both the bucolic countryside and hectic city, In Search of Good Food presents both a compelling argument for the need for a better food system, and incisive criticism of the limited effectiveness of consumer-based solutions.

In Search of Good Food will make you think beyond "voting with your fork", to the real challenges and opportunities that we face in creating a safe, just, and sustainable food system that provides good food for all.

Who best to answer the questions of how to make change happen, than those working to make it happen?
