Yesterday I had the privilege of going to Tribeca Cinemas to both watch The Secret Life of Bees with a bunch of awesome high school and middle school students and present Meerkat Media’s film Every Third Bite (which we made with one of my favorite TakePart ladies - Wendy Cohen!). The screening was a part of the youth program part of the Tribeca Institute - where they teach kids how to watch and make films. Every Third Bite was there with Media That Matters (which as Giulia pointed out is now accepting entries)
After the films everyone talked about how we can all help the bees and parallels between the two films (in the end it all comes down to treating people and bees well). And awesomely both films were chock full of good bee info!
So give a watch to Every Third Bite below and go after the jump for TakePart links to bee related stories and a trailer for The Secret Life of Bees.
Many folks look at summer as a time to indulge in cinema that is fun, thrilling and large. Unfortunately though, somewhere along the way this came to mean cinema that is fun, thrilling, large and NOT VERY GOOD. Our summer blockbusters, minus a few, have, in this blogger’s opinion, consistently been going downhill and also it seems, getting made at a much more rapid pace. Leaving us with a lot of crap to choose from for our frivolous summer movie fun. Not to mention that ticket prices are constantly on the rise, with a typical summer movie now costing 12 dollars here in New York City.
