An Interview About the Movie

I was recently interviewed at the Eco-Farm conference by Laetitia Mailhes from thegreenplate.org

Check out the video here, if you're not yet sick of hearing me talk. I have to say, good music does a lot to spice up an interview!

christine grace olanio said...: Awesome interview! I've been following your blog for a couple of months now and it's great to see your film get coverage (congrats on making it into the Wild & Scenic Film Festival!), though, I myself haven't seen the whole thing. Are there any other places (particularly Los Angeles area) where it will be screened?

So far we have yet to set up any LA-area screenings. If you have any ideas for organizations in the area that may want to set one up or co-promote, please let get in touch!
(the email is on the blog front page)
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?
