Where Watermelons Grow from Coyopa Productions on Vimeo

 "Where Gardens Grow" is a thirty-minute children’s film intended for distribution in science centers and educational outlets around the world. The film centers around an abandoned lot in the city that is transformed into a community garden by the hard work of a group of kids. Through an empowering story and the magic of time-lapse photography, the film intends to inspire children around the world to nurture the nature around them.

The film's social goal extends beyond the movie theater to create real change in a Philadelphia neighborhood. Small community gardens are oases of tranquility, education, and healthy food, and we want this film to make a difference both locally and globally. A significant portion of the film's profits will be channeled back into the site used for the film as well as other urban community garden programs. The mini-trailer you can view above was created to give you the spirit of the longer film we will shoot.

Shooting is planned for summer of 2009 with a 2010 release. Please contact us for more information. Email rich@coyopa.com or contact us by phone at (610) 566-6524.
