During this multimedia presentation, Curt Ellis and Ian Cheney will share their experiences and show clips from their films to illustrate how they used creativity, community engagement, film, and humor to inform people about the food industry, and connect people and communities to food.

In 2011, Ian and Curt were the youngest recipients ever to receive the prestigious Heinz Award for their work using humor and innovation to engage people about sustainable food.
