Turning Foodies into Feedies

Written by on

“What if sharing a food photo shared actual food?”

Video by Feedie:

Americans are passionate about sharing food photos online. So, we leveraged that passion and turned Foodies into Feedies. Feedie is a platform that turns food photos into donations to The Lunchbox Fund, a non-profit that provides daily meals to disadvantaged school children in South Africa. So now when you share food photos, you share actual food with those who need it.

The Real Happy Meal

Video by StoryTravelers

From StoryTravelers:

It’s about time to reframe what we think of when we hear “Happy Meal”. “The real happy meal” is a funny prelude about the joy of delicious, fair home grown food.

The story takes you on a trip from the dinner table in the open mountain air, through the kitchen to the organic gardens back to the roots. A real happy meal cares about its origins. All products used are home grown, organic or cultivated with respect.

Red Drops of Life

“the story behind a divine wine..”

Video by StoryTravelers

From StoryTravelers:

With “Red drops of life” I wanted to visualize the story behind a divine wine in a poetic way. In fact it’s not a person that tells the story, but it’s the wine that tells its story through the senses. One glass of wine is containing not only a finely elaborated extract of riped grapes fed with a unique set of elements of found in these lands: sun, water and volcanic minerals; but it contains stories… stories of the people dedicating their lives to nurture it, following their traditions, knowledge and above all, their passion.

From Dear Martini:

Grind your own spices? Sure you bet! Pre-ground spices tend to loose their aroma and flavor as they sit on your kitchen shelf. In just a few minutes you can toast whole spices and grind the amount you need for a big payoff in flavor.
