The movie premiere for Log Warriors was a great success in my eyes, seeing as how my last movie premiere for Island Dog Robber was only attended by 7 people. This time around there were between 35 and 50 people in attendance. Following this math, I calculate there will be 350 people at my next movie premiere. Well, one can only hope. Part of the reason why I make movies is to have movie premieres where cast, crew, friends, family, and fans can enjoy themselves and celebrate the hard work that goes into making a movie.
Rarely do I get to celebrate with people from all parts of my life and the Log Warriors premiere afforded me the opportunity. Every time the elevator opened and introduced a new attendee I was overjoyed. It was like Christmas, but all the presents were humans. One minute a former co-worker would show up and right behind them would be friends from college followed by Peace Corps buddies. I would greet them, introduce them to each other, and then wait excitedly for the next group of people to show up. “Who would it be?” I thought. Would it be my old supervisor from my previous job? Would it be my brother with his friends? Would it be a good friend from elementary school that I hadn’t seen for years? That’s the power of movies. It can bring people together. Actually, it was probably the free booze and red carpet treatment that brought everyone together. [click to continue…]

USDA’s Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) just created a YouTube channel. The only video that has been uploaded onto this channel is one that I shot and edited. The video talks about FNS’ wonderful Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program, a program that allows high-needs schools to buy fresh fruits and vegetables to serve to their students as snacks. FNS then reimburses these schools for the fresh fruits and vegetables they purchase for all the students. The types of fruits and vegetables the school may buy can vary depending on how adventurous the school’s staff wants to be. They can allow their students to try anything from plain carrots and apples to wild and crazy pomegranates and asparagus. As long as it is fresh and is a fruit or vegetable, they can give it to their students. The program is currently only available in elementary schools, but the idea is that if kids learn to love eating healthy fruits and vegetables at a young age, well then they’ll just keep on eating them until they grow old and have no teeth. When this inevitably happens, I imagine they will blend all their fruits and vegetables into a viscous soup and then suck it up with a straw.
The video is a bit technical during some parts because this particular video is targeted at people who administer the program and not necessarily the general public. However, as you can see, I tried to keep even the technical parts of the video as engaging as possible through use of different video techniques. I hope to be able to create more videos about the Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program because I really think this is one of the greatest programs the USDA offers and not many people know about it because it is a relatively new program. So I hope you enjoy and tell your favorite local school to see if they are eligible for this program.
