It came as a shock to us, so much of a shock we wondered if there was some sort of mistake!
How could our little short film win BEST Environmental & Ecology Film of North America ? Are you sure it wasn’t “Short Film” or “Student Film?”
We are thrilled to announced (after we checked for any misprints) that Homegrown Revolution won Best Environment & Ecology Film – North America at the highly esteemed Swansea Bay Film Festival UK
“We, the Jules Dervaes family, are first and foremost gardeners and urban homesteaders, and we wanted to tell the story of our earth care journey, Path to Freedom.
We are ecstatic that Homegrown Revolution has won the prestigious award of Best Environment & Ecology Film–USA and would like to thank all those involved in making this possible: Patron Catherine Zeta Jones; Festival Director Roger Lawrence Williams; the Festival jury; and many others.
Thank you for this special recognition, which will result in a larger audience becoming interested in how they can change their world through this message of freedom.”
Purchase your DVD copy – share with family, friend and folks in your community, inspire to be the change. Never doubt that a small film can have such a huge impact.
FYI: Just to clear up some confusion. The DVD version that we are selling is NOT the one and the same as the YouTube version.
