Finding the right production crew was the hard part. A videographer whom I admire so much has agreed to work with me (score!) and I could not be more excited. Ursy I will link you to his work to see his style.

What I am planning is to open the video on a farm where I am talking to the farmer about the main ingredient. My plan has been to shoot at my favorite Artichoke farm in Castroville CA. What I was saying to Ahk is that I want to shoot video out at Hatch Chili in NM at harvest next fall. This has to be planned far in advance so I can get the camera crew there.

If this is any good I get an agent and try to get some work in cable tv. If it sucks I go back to doing what I do. LOL.

Anyway this is my end game folks, I get to use all of the skills that I have and focus on everything that is interesting to me from social justice issues such as farmworker rights, to organic and sustainable farming, non GMO farming, humane animal farming, cooking techniques, intersections of cultures, and so on. This is a very exciting time for me.

You all will be able to go along this journey with me by following my posts here or on Facebook. It is going to be a lot of fun.

Have you ever watched the Food Network show "pitchin' in" with Chef Lynn Crawford? It sounds not quite the same, but a common goal. To highlight food from the farm.

No I have not. But I am just planning on opening the video on the farm and then cutting away to the cooking demo. We are going to try to arrange it so that I can cook outside. With something like an artichoke that will work because all I need is a grill. If I am making something like Risotto, not so much. I need a kitchen to shoot from. So I did find a vacation rental home in Napa Valley that I can rent but the kitchen is too dark, so I can move outside and shoot from the pool area but then why not just shoot from a vineyard and save the house rental. So many details. So think 5-10 minutes on the farm or with the vendor, could be a cheese maker, olive farm, anything really...and 20 minutes cooking.
