Most colleges have a time period known as “Spring Break.” Usually this break corresponds to some sort of Judeo-Christian holiday like Passover or Easter. I’m not really sure of the exact history of Spring Breaks throughout time, but I’m pretty sure they tend to serve three purposes: 1) give people time to spend with their families during religious holidays (not this year though, Spring Break came a little too soon); 2) give students a chance to blow off steam (method to be determined by student, I’ve never been to Cabo San Lucas, but I can only imagine); and 3) give students a chance to catch up on school work! Our group chose the later.
On Saturd
ay, March 28th, our group filmed our first big Jerome Park Garden Event, the Cesar Chavez 9th Annual day of service. This was the most crowded we’ve ever seen the garden. Not only did we film the interactions occurring the garden, but also conducted several interviews with new and returning participants. Some of these new participants included a city councilperson and a state assemblyperson, both of which gave excellent interviews providing an outside authority on the importance of projects like The Grain Project. Other highlights of the day include an orange tree planting by the children of Cesar Chavez, other planting projects, and arts and crafts activities for the kids.In addition to this marathon day of shooting, we also spent our spring break finishing up our rough cut and submitting our American Anthropological Association application. To be honest, this was a little bit exciting. This is our group’s first submission, and hopefully not out last.
