non-fiction film, from Maine
Good news! The folks at MPBN just let us know that Meet Your Farmer—our series of documentary shorts about Maine farmers—will be re-airing on Thursday, September 29th at 10pm. Mark your calendars!
Or, better yet, like us on Facebook, and we’ll remind you when the time comes!
The Island Institute announced a brand new initiative today, the Island Coastal Innovation Fund. It’s a great concept—a fund that will provide loans and equity investment to businesses in island and coastal communities, as well as permit-banking for the Maine groundfish industry. We were happy to make a little video for them:
Produced by Cecily Pingree & Jason Mann. Edited by Josh Povec. Original music by Joe Nelson.
Check out the Island Institute’s website for more information about ICIF.
And be sure to check out and support all three great businesses in the video: Black Dinah Chocolatiers in Isle Au Haut, Penobscot Island Air in Owl’s Head, and Calendar Islands Maine Lobster from Chebeague.
We are thrilled and honored to receive a post-production grant from the Sundance Institute Documentary Film Program for our documentary Betting The Farm!
From the release:
Filmmakers selected are working in 9 countries and represent a broad range of experience, including Academy Award-winning documentarians Roger Ross Williams and Frieda Lee Mock as well as first-time feature documentary filmmakers.
That’s us! Read the whole press release on the Sundance website.
