MHB Trailer from Nancy O’Mallon on Vimeo. This is an excerpt of our award-winning documentary film, THE MIGHTY HUMBLE BLUEBERRY, written, directed & produced by Nancy O’Mallon, featuring original music by Andrew Ingkavet.
Excerpted from a March 2010 Interview with Director Nancy O’Mallon O’Mallon discusses her reasons for making this documentary.
I got into blueberries by way of a car accident really. Long story short, the accident resulted in 4 surgeries to my left hand and arm over several years. Knowing that I would need to occupy my mind during the recovery period I decided it was the perfect opportunity for me to finally write the novel I’d always wanted to write. Having grown up on a farm, I wanted the setting for the story to be on a farm and I thought to make it even better I would make the setting a blueberry farm in New Jersey. Problem was that our family had not raised a single blueberry shrub on our farm, and I knew nothing about how they grew or anything else about them.
Subsequently, I turned to the Internet to find the answer. These were the pre-Google years and there was next to no information on the Internet about blueberries. What I did find there was a USDA research facility in southern New Jersey whose focus was only on cranberries and blueberries. I chose a blueberry geneticist from the list of researchers there, and called him directly. His first words of advice to
me were: “Well if you really want to know about blueberries, you really ought to learn about Elizabeth White.” At that moment my vocation in telling stories about blueberries was set in motion.
