Filming Tea Production in China
Hi Steepster Fam,
Bit of an unconventional post here — but does anyone know of any tea producers in China who would be open to having their land & process filmed for an experimental documentary?
I’m a graduate student at Northwestern University taking a film studio class about climate crisis, and we are heading to China this summer to film in collaboration with some Chinese university students! However, my group is still deciding on a subject for filming this July. We are interested in plants and humans, themes of decay and interaction with the land. Therefore, I thought tea growing & processing could be an excellent subject to focus on. I wanted to know if you know any folks who might be open to having some film students engage with them & their tea making process. We are interested in making more of an experimental and artistic documentary, focusing on images, sounds, and textures of plants and decay, also maybe including some interviews with the growers about their process and the land. I realize it is an unconventional ask, but please let me know, and I’m open to talking more if you’d like. Thanks!
