We loved creating six profile videos for the Amherst Area Chamber of Commerce A+ Awards this year - but this was one was dear to our heart. 87-year old Tullio's career in ecological architecture as founder of TIA Architects/Nacul Center for Ecological Architecture was a dreamy field-trip full of mesmerizing models of biosphere-friendly cities of the future, and a re-modeled church-into-studio that was full of light and architectural marvels. If you have time, take a watch of his profile here!

A 2.5 year project coming to a beautiful close: Hunting Yellow Pigs is starting a screening run, with its premiere at Hampshire College this Saturday October 18!

🎧Check out the podcast and radio show coming out tomorrow on New England Public Media with
Monte Belmonte and Kaliis Smith, about the film and math program!

This national treasure is a collaborative and joyful summer math program in advanced mathematics for high school students. It’s been running for more than half a century, led by the incredible David Kelly, a “pied piper of mathematics “. 💛

Alumni (over 70 interviewed for the film, nationwide) are in diverse fields and accomplished innovators, scientists, educators, writers, and even comedians.

We edited this film, field-produced production in this region, supervised post-production, associate produced, consulted on general filmmaking, and generally helped lead the alum & team who wanted to bring this story to life.

Check out the website huntingyellowpigs.com to register for the screening, or just for a fun experience on their new website!
More screenings coming up soon.

Secrets abound about what film we’ll be talking about when it airs next Wednesday…but it MAY have something to do with the # of fingers Monte & Jon are holding up.
So psyched to see this long term project finished & getting some airtime. Poster drop and screening announcement coming soon!

It’s happening again! This Thursday, October 9, you can catch the new 30-minute film, Rising River’s Edge, playing at All Souls Church in Greenfield at 7 PM.
This kicks off the LAVA Film Festival, but note: it’s being screened at this larger venue at 399 Main St.
Free!

We had a great kickoff screening a few weeks ago so if you missed it, please come out!
Here’s some information and pictures from some of the great articles that came out after the soft opening.

Rising River’s Edge: The Climate Crisis in Franklin County
The 30-minute film explores the major struggles of local farmers in the face of climate change, and the importance for food resiliency in our region.

Rising River’s Edge examines the plight of our foods systems in Franklin County in the face of a changing and unpredictable climate. In the past two years alone, we have experienced heavy rains, floods, late frosts, April snowfalls, and drought. This has wreaked havoc on our food systems, while occurring in the face of food insecurity issues that 50% of Franklin County’s population faces.

Filmmakers Hugh Finnerty, Clara Witty, Matthew Barlow, and Rebecca Rideout examine the plight of our farmers in Franklin County, their struggles, and their resiliency in planning for this unpredictable new normal. They also trace this new normal down through the local food systems to consumers, and the importance of their actions in supporting local economies.

Featured farms and organizations include Red Fire Farm, Just Roots, Clark Brothers Orchard, and Stone Soup Cafe.

Funding for this film was provided by MassHumanities via the Massachusetts Cultural Council, Greening Greenfield and the LAVA Center.

See you there!

The soft opening for the new 30-minute film exploring the effects of climate change on farming and community in Franklin County was a packed success! 'Rising River's Edge', a project I helped on with a great team as part of LAVA Arts Organization in Greenfield, was funded in part by a Mass Humanities grant.
Our first screening at the Greenfield Public Library had 84 viewers show up on a Monday night! Great response and enthusiasm from the community for this emotional, distressing, and honest look at the situation for our farmers and community here in a rural and poverty-stricken region.
But: we've got resiliency and community ON TAP around here, so we're excited to share this with more groups and encourage conversations and action on farm support.
Message me if you want a link or a screening request, and I'll pass it on to LAVA!
It will next be kicking off the LAVA Film Festival on Thursday Oct. 9 - check out their website for more details on the venue closer to the date:
