From Colorado RAinbow group: Hi, Tony Sirna from Dancing Rabbit Ecovillage in Missouri recently sent out the following. Morgan Spurlock, creator of the movie Supersize Me, has a new reality tv series coming out called "30 Days." In each episode, people spend 30 days in a situation different than their normal life. The show has filmed 6 episodes for its first series, and the last episode is titled "Off the Grid" and is about two New Yorkers who try out living at the rural ecovillage. Tony says: ------------------------------- As some of you know there has been a film crew at Dancing Rabbit for the last month filming for a documentary/reality-TV show called 30 Days. The crew left yesterday and today they have put our episode's promo up on their website. I guess this means we can tell everyone about it now (we were supposed to keep it quiet during the filming). Our episode should air on July 20th on the FX cable network. So check out: http://fxnetworks.com/shows/originals/30days/main.html Click skip intro (if you are in a hurry) Hover over Episodes, and choose Off the Grid We got along quite well with the subjects and crew and can only hope that the story editors at the network are kind to us. Wish us luck. Feel free to tell your friends. Hopefully this will be good publicity for intentional community. Thanks, Tony _________________________________________________ Tony Sirna Dancing Rabbit Ecovillage: www.dancingrabbit.org Intentional Communities: www.ic.org ------------------------------ I talked with Tony about this, and it's unclear how much control Morgan Spurlock has over the editing, which is of course where most of the important choices about presentation are made. So this might be a schlocky commercial thing, or it might be great, and we won't know until it airs. Cheers, --Tree
That's cool as heck! I keep an eye on their site, not to far from me. I'll try to catch that (gotta go to someone elses houses to watch tv).
