Honored! TERRA FIRMA takes "Best Of Fest" at CEFF 2015.

So, OK. The two of us made the film: financed it, shot it, cut it, etc... but when we are in a darkened theatre with others watching it, we realize that the three women on the screen are the ones who really made this documentary.

These awards go to Sonia, Anna and Althea for opening up their lives to us, telling their stories, and for their trust in us to present them honestly.

There is no other way to begin this post than to say we are deeply honored.  

We are honored to have been given the chance to tell the stories of 3 amazing women: 
Anna Mann, Sonia Kendrick and Althea Raiford.

Thanks go to them for trusting us to present their stories honestly. Their courage to lay themselves bare, to share their experiences of what it was like being in war and coming home and finding themselves changed in ways they could not at first understand, was humbling for us.

Making TERRA FIRMA challenged us in many ways. We wanted to push our own documentary filmmaking skill set to the edge and then see how much further we could go beyond that. It was not always easy, but we came out on the other side intact and still together.  Knowing what these three women went through, what other veterans have gone through, what they are still going through, guided us through our darkest days- we could not allow ourselves to give up on our mission to get this project completed. And that is what kept us going. 

Thank you to the staff of the Rome International Film Festival for selecting the film, and to all those involved in giving TERRA FIRMA the Special Jury Award for Documentary Feature Film and presenting us with one of the best festival statues, The Sylvia.

The award is for a thoughtful film that raises awareness about an important issue from a sensitive vantage point.

All Roads Lead To ROME!

A brief history...

Our first film, the documentary short FARM! was an Official Selection at RIFF 2009.

Shot entirely on a Flip Ultra, (really), we were pretty blown away by how good it looked on the DeSoto Theatre screen.

And we got the film bug...

Encouraged, we acquired a better camera and got to work.

In 2011 we released the feature length
documentary GROW!.

GROW! was an official selection at RIFF 2011 and went on to win Best American Documentary.

Which brings us to this:

Our third documentary film to be accepted into the Rome International Film Festival.

We are honored to be an Official Selection at RIFF 2014 with TERRA FIRMA.



See you there.

Update

What's going on?
GROW! has just won the Earth Award at the 2013 Cinema Verde Film Festival. We have been going to GROW! screenings as it continues to play in festivals, schools, events and for community groups (Dallas, Houston and Austin, Texas; Algona, Illinois; St. Louis, Missouri and Graz, Austria are coming up). We cut a 32 minute version of GROW! for the cable program "Natural Heroes" to be aired on PBS stations and their affiliates in the fall. GROW! is available to stream/download online around the world or order your own 60 minute Deluxe DVD with 30 minutes of extras.

Also up is the second season of Field Trip!, our farmer to farmer series for Georgia Organics. Click to watch season one.
As always we continue to shoot magazine and commissioned assignments (see Postings: Selborne Lane and Unique Nashville).  

We are currently in the middle of shooting Terra Firma, our next documentary. Filming takes place in Iowa, North Carolina and Georgia. 
And just to keep the hounds of lethargy and sloth at bay, we're in development on a number of other film (documentary/narrative) and photography projects.
