for my sustainability capstone project, i had the privilege of assisting francesca edralin<\/a>, a junior at george washington university and the first planet forward comcast storytelling fellow, with the production process for a short documentary about food insecurity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

specifically, edralin wanted to focus on food insecurity within the context of covid-19. her piece profiled the green bronx machine<\/a>, a nonprofit organization that seeks to build healthy, equitable, and resilient communities through inspired education, local food systems, and workforce development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

edralin had pitched the topic for her short documentary because she had crossed paths with the founder of the green bronx machine at a conference in milan, italy, years ago and decided to reach out to see how they were handling the covid-19 pandemic in their classrooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

the process of completing this film took about two months. we had to reshoot a lot because of minor details we would notice after we\u2019d reviewed our footage, so this process required us to pay close attention to detail \u2014 and utilize a lot of patience! however, looking back now, we\u2019re glad we took our time with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

there’s a lot more to creating a documentary than just picking up a camera; creating a documentary is an art form that has a long process, but the final product is worth the effort. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
