06/06/2008: "Progress!"

We've set up this blog to post updates with the film and to add and connect to the conversation on sustainable eating, food security and more.

On the film end, Eating Alaska recently got a grant from the Sitka, Alaska Charitable Trust. Ellen, the director, received an award for her work in nutrition from a local health summit. Full Circle Farm, a certified organic farm located in Carnation Washington, put a great blurb about the film in their "Fresh Sheet" and put the sheet with the blurb in 2000 boxes of fruits and veggies they ship to Alaska.

We're editing, fundraising to cover the last stages of post -production and outreach, and aiming to have the film out by Fall. Three communities in Alaska, have started planning screenings and we're open to more in state and beyond.
