I'm curating a film program for the Cleveland Ingenuity Festival in September. The general theme of the festival is food, but it's also a very general topic, could imply not just food, but food for thought, feeding the soul, etc. You get the idea. Please contact me if you have a short film (under 10-15 min), or suggestions of filmmakers tackling the subject of food. The films will be screened on a HD monitor in a pristine city bus parked outside the warehouse where the festival takes place. Black out windows, surround sound system, etc... I'll be reviewing films until August 1. For more information on the Ingenuity Festival,
