My friend, Sarah Feinbloom (yep, that's her pictured at left), makes pretty hard-hitting, intense documentaries and lots of fundraising videos for good causes. Based in the Bay Area of California for many years, Sarah's been a long-time member of the distribution collective, New Day Films. Her film on the religious lives of teenagers, What Do You Believe?, screened on PBS, and her beautiful piece on child trafficking in Thailand, Daughters and Sons, was featured on NPR. It also won for Best Short Film on Child Advocacy at the 3rd Annual Artivist Awards, which I produced in the fall of '06 at the Egyptian Theater in Hollywood.
Shortly after that, Sarah told me that she was working on something a little more light-hearted (and delicious!) and that her work-in-progress film, In Search of the Heart of Chocolate, would be more of a sensually-conscious journey rather than the socially-conscious fare that is her normal bent. It centers around her search for the origins of her chocolate obsession.
On February 12th, a couple of days before that day where everyone's supposed to do something romantic for his or her sweetie--like buying chocolate!, there will be two screenings at the Delancey Street Screening Room at 600 Embarcadero in San Francisco. This "chocumentary" features Bay Area chocolatier, Jack Epstein, who runs Chocolate Covered in Noe Valley, and some of his die-hard chocoholic customers, all consumed by the discovery of the perfect chocolate experience. An all-chocolate reception will follow the later screening. I saw an earlier cut of this and it is, indeed, quite a treat!
If you live in the area, or are planning a romantic weekend in the city by the bay, you can reserve a spot by emailing [email protected].
I saw that film and I liked, thanks!
