FOOD FIGHT LA Premiere

March 25th, 2010 admin No comments

Here is a comment from a fellow filmmaker following our LA Premier at the Crest Theater:

What a great premiere!!! Congrats!!!
I was loving seeing how gorgeous the film
looked (and sounded) up there on that huge screen
last night!!! Whatever you shot it on combined
with the print or the whatever it was screening on
looked really really fabulous. I’m not just saying that.
The colors and the way people were shot really was
luscious and I enjoyed that so much on the big screen,
in addition to the awesome content of the movie, which of course I am already a fan of.

Alice Water’s purple shirt, the tangerines in the glass bowl next to Michael Polan, the way Polan was on camera left and Alice camera right, and all the Luques food making me drool and on and on luscious, luscious! The way Ron Kind was shot with his basketball, the moose heads in that
congressman’s office, all these lovely filmmaking choices along with all the great animation and all the excellent and varied characters and what you bring out of them to just enhance the powerful story and so important message. And then “the meat,” which to me is that graph of food prices dropping while crossing with the rise in health costs. LOVE IT ALL!!! : )

Filmmaking is such a rich and delicious medium and I love when great stories are told using the medium to the fullest as I feel “Food Fight” does.

But I forgot one thing… humor! I love that there is so much humor in “Food Fight.” Fun with a message inside!!!
That’s the ticket! : )

FOOD FIGHT will be having its Los Angeles Theatrical Debut at the Majestic Crest Theater in Westwood on Wednesday, March 24th, at 7:30 PM. In addition to the film screening, there will be a discussion panel afterwards featuring Russ Parsons from the LA Times, Evan Kleiman, chef and host of KCRW’s “Good Food” (and a local LA food rock star if there ever was one), director Chris Taylor, and organic farmer and food activist Thetis Sammons. Tickets are being sold in advance here.

We are screening as part of the “Something to Talk About” independent documentary film series that Brainstorm Media has created with support from Loyola Productions.

Other film to follow in coming months include Revolution Green and House Quake.
