Back from a hiatus while pooring all of my time into my food and travel based material over at www.thetrailofcrumbs.com . Out of the connections, experiences and inspiration from 3 years of working on food and travel documentary television... birthed our very own project. We've shot a film! It's called "Prestige Ingredients" and stars Alia Shawkat, Pierre Jancou and Redouanne Harjane. What a whirlwind it's been. We are in the post-production stage and have a production diary over here.
