| Here's the culmination of 2 years of work...
Prepara
We've just launched our own line of kitchen products!!! We're currently exhibiting at the Gourmet show in Orlando but plan to make our rounds at the Ambiente in Hamburg and the International Home and Housewares Show in Chicago. So anyone planning on buying kitchen products... don't. Wait a few months and buy Prepara. We expect things to roll onto the shelves in about 2 - 3 months. This is just a few kick off products. We're going to take the brand and product line bigger.
Also if you're planning on buying a cocktail shaker consider this one...
It's a fliptop shaker for Metrokane. I think Bed Bath is picking this up and should be in stores by next month. |

| I believe you can start making a documentary of just about anything and it will always become something interesting. There's something about framing life, whether it be by painting, photography, or movie making that enables you to see things that normally you would just pass by.
Like the dude that made "love of the game". He just walks in one day with his camera and starts shooting a documentary about a girls basketball season in Seattle. What he intended just to be a one year thing turns into a 5 year epic with enough drama to rival any hollywood sports movie. Or in "born into brothels", the lady just goes in there with the intent to take pictures of the brothels in india but walks away with a poignant view of these kids' lives.
You could probably walk outside with a camera with the intent of making a documentary about a piece of gum stuck to the sidewalk, but it will undoubtedly lead you and your camera someplace to unravel the fabric of some aspect of life. I guess I see it like this. Nothing stands by itself. Everything is connected to something else. That piece of gum factors into the world in so many different ways. You could ask yourself... how did it get there? What is gum? When did people start thinking it was a good idea to have a sugary rubbery flavored substance to chew on? Who are the people that clean this up? What are their lives like? Well... I bet if you sat out there long enough something interesting would come up.
The point is, every story has something deeper behind it. Documentaries just help to bring that deeper story out. I think people would benefit from taking documentarian classes or something. Especially in today's day and age where we have all these mediums of getting the short version, via TV, newspaper, internet, word of mouth... etc. People have this tendency to take information now without questioning what's going on underneath. I do it all the time.
Here's my hypothesis. Every story works to fit things into "The Big Picture". I guess the big picture being the overall make up of life. Think of it as a giant quilt. A news segment on tv may show just a little thread of what's going on. A documentary shows an entire patch of that quilt. Books show you an even larger patch. I guess if you know everything there is to possibly know about the world then you'd ultimately know what "the big picture" was. Anyway, I would like to think that the world is moving in the direction where we're all beginning to see the big picture. However, I get the feeling that things are going in the other direction. |
