About the OPP Media/Farm

MEDIA

"New technologies and capabilities are blurring the often-artificial distinctions between media forms. We are trying to find a groove somewhere between them all"

 
OPP’s first documentary project was Falling Together in New Orleans (FTNO), an award-winning film series and video blog which was filmed over an 18-month time period in New Orleans following the 2005 Levee Failure. During that same time period OPP produced the Hurricane Katrina Media Project, a multi-media event which toured college campuses and went on tour with Ani DiFranco in 2007. FTNO was featured in several national film festivals, winning the audience award for "best documentary" at the 2007 ConvergeSouth Film Festival.

OPP has since been involved in producing dozens of media projects and events with non-profit and corporate partners such as: Quiksilver, College of Charleston, Righteous Babe Records, Yes is a World and New Music Collective, Medical University of South Carolina, South Carolina ETV, Charleston Fashion Week and many others.

Two of OPP’s documentaries were featured during 2009 on PBS affiliates and one Web of Water won a 2010 National Education Innovation Award from PBS and The Corporation for Public Broadcasting. We have also produced a number of book and video projects for several influential artists and spiritual teachers in the Charleston area.

As part of our commitment to giving back, OPP has donated more than $50,000 to non-profits, communities, and other organizations featured in our media projects.

LOCAL FARMING & STORYTELLING

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In 2009, we added a new dimension to Organic Process - venturing into Cheesemaking and Community Supported Agriculture (CSA). OPP is currently producing local handmade, homegrown goat cheese available in shops and CSA programs around the lowcountry of South Carolina.  OPP also works in conjunction with local farms to raise awareness and drive membership for Community Supported Agriculture programs in the Charleston area.

In conjunction with this new found passion for local food, we also launched a new kind of video network. One supported by the sales of locally produced products. This reversal of the way media typically works (where media is used to sell products) allows us to produce and curate documentary shorts dealing with archaic forms of growing, cooking, doing and thinking that are experiencing a re-birth. You support the work of GiveGround everytime you purchase our Giddy Goat Cheese.
