A Documentary in Progress That Needs Some Love!

A documentary production-in-progress that STILL needs funding... go figure...

It's a modern day tale about reclaiming our past... there is much more to the story...more to be told about the people, the families, the towns and the lives that have been affected by the decline of industry in this once bustling New Hampshire town and towns like it across the Untied States.

"Higher Ground" is the name of the documentary... this larger story that needs to be told. Reelife Documentary Productions has been working with former mill owner Gary O'Neal for a few years to produce this film and to help find a new use for this property and reinvigorate the surrounding economy that is so desperately in need of a new life.

Voices of New Farmers

Here's a promo that Reelife produced for Storey Publishing for Greenhorns: 50 Dispatches from the New Farmers' Movement by Zoë Bradbury, Severine von Tscharner Fleming, Paula Manalo... looks like very interesting reading!

A community of more than 5000 young farmers and activists, the Greenhorns are committed to producing and advocating for food grown with vision and respect for the earth. This book, edited by three of the group's leading members, comprises 50 original essays by new farmers who write about their experiences in the field from a wide range of angles, both practical and inspirational. Funny and sad, serious and light-hearted, these essays touch on everything from financing and machinery to family, community building, and social change.

Nice Spring Day in the Country...

Unearthed! 1991 Phish Documentary

Got a kick out of this... my old Phish documentary "All My Plastic Melon Dreams" (VHS version 1, 1991) mysteriously showed up on an ole pal's Facebook page... don't even know how he found that early version...

Reelife Proud Sponsor of Wrsi iPhone App

It's very cool to see the happiness that WRSI - 93.9 The River's (free) iphone app brings to all parts of the state, country & world... Reelife Productions is proud to be the official sponsor of the app and is happy to help keep the digital river flowing :) Here's a quote from a WRSI listener who recently downloaded the iphone app:

"After months of living without the River since moving, I am giddy with content in listening to Monte in the mornings once again! It's true my recent iPhone purchase was in large part to get the free River iPhone app!! Well worth it! Otherwise this rainy Tues morning would seem quite dreary."
