Nuts and Bolts

GROW! official web site is temporarily offline for upgrades, flange lubing, and a good old fashioned hose blow-out... so, in the meantime, here is a link to our Production web sites GROW! page with the links to online streaming around the world.

UpDate 04/04/2015: growmovie.net is back online but the store is still f'd.

It Was Four Years Ago...

GROW! Premieres at Georgia Organics Conference

What started as a little documentary film about some young Georgia farmers that we thought would be of limited interest to other Georgians, maybe... caught fire and continues to ignite interest around the world.  The dedicated individuals in GROW! are inspiring others to take up the cause, pick up shovels and hoes and grow food for their communities.

Thank you Georgia Organics, Whole Foods Market, Coastal Organic Growers and everyone who contributed to our Kickstarter campaign, attended fundraising events, made anonymous donations, slipped envelopes into our pockets, and helped us make this film a reality.

A special thank you to the farmers for giving so much of their very valuable time. This is your movie.

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.

Five Reasons

Five reasons why we love being photographers are in this photograph.
1: Light
2: Shadow
3: Subject
4: Frame
5: The way it makes us feel.

There are so many reasons really; it's hard to distill it down to just three or five or seven. We could also have said the spontaneous energy, the models, the backstory, the location, the propping and wardrobe, the photo editor is a dream to work with, the client relationship goes way back but...

This photograph just makes us smile.
Sometimes it's just a snap and it's just that simple.

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.
