about: Feeling disconnected from their food, a filmmaker and his family decide to join a local community supported organic farm.  As he photographs the growing process, the filmmaker moves from passive observer to active participant in the planting and harvesting of vegetables.  Compiled entirely from nearly 20,000 still images, this personal essay is a father’s meditation on his blossoming family and community.
Fridays at the Farm has aired nationally on The Sundance Channel, won awards in the US, Korea, and Japan, and been selected for ten international traveling film festivals as well as both the Ironweed and Earth Cinema Circle DVD Collections.
