Do you know where your food comes from?

In the past ten years, the organic food industry has become big business and consumers have been left wondering exactly what the word “Organic” means and how they can really know what they’re eating.

With the rise of farmer’s markets and more and more chefs sourcing their ingredients from local farms, consumers are now able to meet and talk to the people who are growing their food.

LOCAL discusses the rise of the local food movement, the challenges of sourcing locally and how it’s become a growing part of the Austin, Texas food scene.

This documentary is the November film in my 12 Films Project, where I make one short film every month in 2011. To see the other films or to learn more about the project, visit the website at:

Shot on the Canon 7D, GoPro HD and iPhone 4S. Edited with Final Cut Pro and graded with Magic Bullet Looks.

    Christian, very good, solid, documentary work. I only have a simple suggestion: Btween 20 min and 30 min into the piece... it gets a little repetitive... you could possibly cut those 10 minutes and have a better "3rd act" - the follow up was good.. I especially like the issues where they speak of "How do you make a profit" ... The entire first 15 minutes are stellar - really had me watching...

    I just finished a simliar piece on organic farming using simple DLSR's.. The local grower liked it so much he offered me a CSA share! - I can send you a private link to my 9 minute short if you like!

    Good stuff... will retweet this!

    Matt, thanks for the feedback. While I agree that some of the bytes get a bit repetitive, in the end I thought they were different enough to warrant putting them all in.

    Would love to see your short.

    This is absolutely terrific. I grew up on a farm conceived by passions and killed by costs, and so this really speaks to me. Thanks for sharing.

    Hey Christian,

    Well done with your Twelve Films Project.

    What equipment do you use for your audio?
  • Christian Remde plus 2 months ago
    Thanks!

    I've actually been hiring people to do my audio and don't know all the gear they use. I've been thinking about investing in a Zoom (or the Tascam), a wireless mic and a boom, but for right now, I'd rather hire someone who really knows what they're doing.

  • Awesome doc. I really enjoyed the images and the conversation. I shared it on our facebook page and got tons of hits! We made a full length doc about the movement for localization. Check out the trailer on our profile! Cheers!

    Very nice work! The audio on the interviews is great. What was your sound setup for the project?
  • Christian Remde plus 1 month ago
    Thanks!

    For a majority of the interviews, we did a pretty standard lav and boom setup and recorded it all off-camera on a Zoom. I also had a great sound mixer out in LA who did an amazing job mixing the audio.
