I tried to find the one you mentioned to me, but it eluded me
I want to see you in action!

Working on making the first video, my demo. I do cooking demonstrations and people always ask me if I have a video, and no I don't. So I thought I should produce something that is very unique to my culinary perspective. We are planning the first video now. I've been working on this for a few months. Finding the right production crew was the hard part. A videographer whom I admire so much has agreed to work with me (score!) and I could not be more excited. Ursy I will link you to his work to see his style.

What I am planning is to open the video on a farm where I am talking to the farmer about the main ingredient. My plan has been to shoot at my favorite Artichoke farm in Castroville CA. What I was saying to Ahk is that I want to shoot video out at Hatch Chili in NM at harvest next fall. This has to be planned far in advance so I can get the camera crew there.

If this is any good I get an agent and try to get some work in cable tv. If it sucks I go back to doing what I do. LOL.

Anyway this is my end game folks, I get to use all of the skills that I have and focus on everything that is interesting to me from social justice issues such as farmworker rights, to organic and sustainable farming, non GMO farming, humane animal farming, cooking techniques, intersections of cultures, and so on. This is a very exciting time for me.

You all will be able to go along this journey with me by following my posts here or on Facebook. It is going to be a lot of fun.

adding..normal people go out and hire a professional production company and then try to get into Food Network or the Cooking Channel. They require a professional demo not a home made piece. Well, I am producing this on my own so hiring a production company was astronomical in cost. I do not have an agent or a network so I am learning just how complicated it is to produce a video. Wow. So much to think about. Writing the script is the most fun but I changed it like 3000 times already and need to just stop and chill the hell out. The camera, lighting and sound people all need direction so they need a copy of the script on hand while we shoot.

I definitely need some help with this in the future.
