originally published: 09/29/2021


Here is the New Jersey Film Festival Fall 2021 Q+A with with The Dirt Whisperer Director Giorgio Litt, Festival Jurors Izzy Bonvini, Hamsa Hasan and Festival Director Al Nigrin:



Show date: Friday, October 1, 2021. More Info and Tickets are available here.

The Dirt Whisperer – Giorgio Litt (Atlanta, Georgia)  

A systems program manager and his wife trade their corporate lives for one of biological farming, permaculture, and a sustainable way of living driven primarily by the health of their soil.Raised on homesteads, Brian and Shelby’s move to the city to work for two of the largest corporations on the planet seemed to be a tacit rejection of their upbringings. So with rising temperatures and cost of living, it’s no wonder that their search for meaning, fulfillment, and a closer connection to their food lead them right back to a self-sufficient and rural way of life still second nature to them.In a journey for Brian and Shelby to rediscover a way of life, the process of disconnecting from nearly century-old agricultural systems hasn’t revealed a simple answer to the question of sustainability and crop health. But it has revealed where lies the answer:  In the health of their biodiverse soil. 2021; 60 min.

The Fall 2021 New Jersey Film Festival -- which will be taking place on the Fridays and Sundays between September 10 and October 10 will be presenting the Festival online. All the films will be available virtually via Video on Demand for 24 hours on their show date. Ticket buyers will also have special access to Filmmaker Introductions and Q+A Sessions for many of the films.
