Back to Eden
Due to popular demand Back to Eden has been rescheduled after being washed out before Christmas. The filmmakers are no longer in the Bay, but this does not prevent their work being enjoyed by us all.
After years of back-breaking toil in ground ravaged by the effects of man-made growing systems, Paul Gautschi has discovered a taste of what God intended for mankind in the Garden of Eden. Some of the vital issues facing agriculture today include soil preparation, fertilization, irrigation, weed control, pest control, crop rotation, and PH issues. None of these issues exist in the unaltered state of nature or in Paul's gardens and orchards. Back to Eden invites you to take a walk with Paul as he teaches you sustainable organic growing methods that are capable of being implemented in diverse climates around the world.
Paul Gautschi has been a gardener for over 55 ears and is known locally as a master arborist. Paul has given lively tours of his orchards and garden to international groups from 1 to 450 who have also enjoyed the fruits of his labour.
Dana Richardson and Sarah Zentz directed and edited the documentary feature in the space of one year. With a crew of only two, this posed the challenge of having to transition between the diverse roles of filming, directing, interviewing, sound recording, editing, colour correcting, marketing, digital design and more. However, the opportunity to be involved so intimately with the entire process of creating Back to Eden was truly rewarding for the filmmakers.
