PI09: Deep Down
A 2009 BAVC Producers Institute Project
Project Director: Jennifer Gilomen & Sally Rubin
http://deepdownfilm.org
To keep up with our increasing demand for energy, humankind is mining the earth for natural resources and putting communities worldwide at risk. Through an intimate, human story, the documentary Deep Down tells the story of a town deep in the Appalachian mountains of eastern Kentucky, where coal is king. Through an integrated media campaign that includes a podcast series disseminated through Appalachian Voices' "Most Endangered Mountains" Google Earth collection, educational curriculum and community action kits, Deep Down will have a deep impact with a diverse audience. At the Producers Institute, co-directors Jennifer Gilomen and Sally Rubin designed and built a3D Virtual Mine game in Second Life in order to bring the experience of mountaintop removal mining to a new level. Playing this game in the metaverse is intended to empower disenfranchised communities that now live in the shadows of extractive industries.Published 2 years ago

PI09: American Meat
A 2009 BAVC Producers Institute Project
Project Director: Alejandro de Onis
In the documentary American Meat, producer (Alejandro de Onis) and director (Graham Meriwether) explore the impact of the recent economic downturn on industrial agriculture, and how one farmer in Virginia, Joel Salatin, is leading a small but growing group of farmers who are looking to expand the influence of local small-scale farms. The film explores how the agricultural industry has brutalized the food production process, and become America’s #1 polluter. At the Producers Institute, De Onis and his team architected a plan to bring farmers and communities to a “digital dinner table” by integrating the film within an e-commerce and social networking context. Through an innovative, web-based regional food network and market place (an EBAYfor the local food movement) called Harvest Cloud, consumers will be able to easily source and purchase local organic food, connect with food producers, and help local food movements proliferate and thrive. Connected to Harvest Cloud is Leave It Better, a youtube-style portal for the green movement where participants are encouraged to post and share videos documenting what they have done to leave their communities better. This site is “seeded” by a collection of flip cameras that will be given to participants around the country, and then “flipped” to others to document their own inspirational green activities.Published 2 years ago
