Fridays at the Farm Trailer from Coyopa Productions on Vimeo

 

Feeling disconnected from their food, a filmmaker and his family decide to join a 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.  Featuring lush time-lapse and macro photography sequences compiled from nearly 20,000 still images, this personal essay is a father’s meditation on his blossoming family and community.

Show your support for Coyopa and for "Fridays at the Farm" by becoming a film critic for The Doorpost Film Project.  With a hefty $30,000 prize, the power is yours to greenlight our next film!  Please visit The Doorpost, sign up as a reviewer, and then watch and rate at least five films. If our 7-minute version of "Fridays" isn't one of the five films assigned to you, you must first rate those films before rating "Fridays". You can find "Fridays at the Farm" under the topic of Joy - where else? The whole process takes about an hour, and it's really interesting to see what other filmmakers have submitted. It's also your chance to let your inner Gene Shalit rate and review short films. The voting ends on April 30th, and we'll know by early May if we've made it to the next round. We appreciate your time and effort with this project. The power is yours to make our next film a reality!

"Fridays at the Farm" originally aired on WYBE as part of the Philadelphia Stories series, and is currently part of The Green series on the Sundance Channel.
