Vittles Films Serving Southern stories to nourish and revive. |www.vittles.us Vittles produces short documentaries about people told through the lens of food.

Some of our films address a contemporary social issue, others follow the history of a cuisine or tell the story of one recipe — we're looking for the places where food and identity intersect, revealing the human condition in pursuit of our most essential provisions. Our filmmakers have diverse professional backgrounds. The group includes community garden organizers, educators, advocates for immigrant rights, nutritionists and journalists. We share the roles of producer, editor and videographer. Our style is lyrical and character-driven. We aspire toward honest, collaborative storytelling with our participants. We believe in sustenance through storytelling.
