Wild and Scenic Film Festival

Some good news for a small film: "On the Trail with Miss Snail Pail"
Greg Young of Golden Bear Casting contacted me a few years ago in response to a news article. He asked if I was open to him following me around with a camera. Sure, it'll be fun and who knows what will come from it.
It has been selected for the 9th Annual Wild and Scenic Film Festival in Nevada City, California.

Looks like I'll be able to attend:) Have missed the other film festivals where it screened. Found lots of snails in SF this past week; perhaps three different varieties. I was at TEDxAlcatraz=congratulations and thanks to David Gurman, Greg Miller, Eric Berlow, and all the others who orchestrated a great experience! The talks, music, food, and of course connections with people, were inspiring.
Happy glistening trails~

Food Fight in NY

Dear Friends of FOOD FIGHT,
This message will be short as I am traveling and in the middle of a great new partnership with a group in New York who are helping to bring the message of the film into schools in NYC. Along those lines, we are screening tonight at Teacher's College at Columbia University at Milbank Chapel (525 W 120th St) at 6pm. I will be there to lead a discussion panel afterwards as well as talk about the FOODFIGHT school initiative. We need to get the word out on this important event, so, if you are in the NYC area, please come and let your food-loving friends know about the screening as well.

Best,
Chris Taylor
Director
FOOD FIGHT
