Is anyone interested in a documentary project on Raw Foodism (or Raw Veganism)? I have a small but well equipped editing studio, and could handle soundtrack, video editing, planning, and writing, and even DVD mastering. I don't have Broadcast Video Cameras, but only because I don't have a project that would warrant the expense - nor do I have specific specialised skills in video camera work (but how hard could it be?).
A couple of ideas:
1. Same as the "Supersize Me" format, but the opposite
2. Similar to the "Reality Shows" format but not so commercial and cheesy.
3. A longitudinal film, tracking the path of a group of Raw Vegans over, say 20 years (?)
4. A Raw Vegan diary, from scratch, including the transition - say over 2 years.
While I'm not thinking of a commercial venture, there is no reason why such a project might not be commercially viable. I'm also thinking of "shoe string" budgeting - I don't want to go broke. I may be dreaming, but I think such a thing could be done very cheaply and professionally. I'm also thinking of the project being coordinated and developed collaboratively on line.

Re: Raw Foodism Documentary Project
Wed, April 12, 2006 - 4:12 AMIn 2 or 3 years time i might be interested. I have skills to make docos etc and raw docos is definitely already on the cards. I am putting off my doco making for later when i can devote more of my time to it. For now, I am happy to contribute in a small way, such as with some suggestions ( if anyone asks).

Re: Raw Foodism Documentary Project
Wed, July 19, 2006 - 8:53 PMHello Brett, I've been thinking about such a project a lot lately. Michael Moore lives only a few miles from me and he is developing a film festival near here in Traverse City, Michigan,USA. His next film apparently is going to bash the healthcare industry. He is also losing weight, so maybe he is on to us! I could approach him with a couple of proposals. Here are a couple of ideas:
---Go through a variety of living food rejuvenation programs at Tree of Life, Hippocrates, etc, and document the reality of the participant's
experiences from start to finish. Then follow them home to see what happens!
---Track just one person trapped in the medical nighmare through aliving foods transition. Hopefully you could get a camera into the
medical offices.
---Do a Tim Burns type historical documentary on the Pottenger cat experiments. The Price-Pottenger foundation probably has all the
material you would need. There might be people alive still that knew him. This could be a must-see! That would be awesome!
There is so much in the raw community that is just waiting to be put on the video bandwagon, and the quality of existing video is poor. I hear that there is a documentary of An Wigmore's life in the works. Dr. Jim Carey at chidiet.com would know about it. Maybe you could help out on that project.
Good Luck!

Re: Raw Foodism Documentary Project
Sun, July 23, 2006 - 3:48 PMI keep forgetting to check this board.. there are some good thoughts there. I've got "Breakthrough" and "Go Further", which I love, even though they are pretty "uneventful", really. It's good to see anything at all coming out of the Raw Food Movement, although I worry about blatant attempts to "cash in" having a negative impact on the "cause". Lately, what I've been thinking about is the following:
A longatudinal documentary, documenting various aspects of a Raw Vegan lifestyle.. a real-life day to day practical look at what goes on. Not an instructional video (per se), but it would serve that function. I'm 3 years into 100% Raw Veganism at the moment, and I see 5 years as a critical milestone. I'm thinking that documenting the progress over this period would help keep me motivated, and be a positive contribution to the movement, which has done so much for me. There are so many potential "wrong turns" and mistakes to be made, and dare I say, so much misinformation about. There is no substitute for actual experience, and no better way to document experience than in a longitudinal film format.
