About Vino Veritas
Vino Veritas is the title of our current project:
There are plenty of obsessions in the world: sports, money, sex, politics and religion. But few endeavors attract as much devotion as wine. Aficionados will shell out hundreds of dollars for a single bottle and travel the world over to taste new vintages.
But some are called to wine on another level. They have that peculiar American quality that convinces them that they can leave everything behind and redefine themselves. They risk it all, giving up careers, families, friends…everything they’ve ever known…to reinvent their lives in wine.
This film is the story of ordinary people with an extraordinary passion. It’s the story of the moment they fell in love with wine. It is a film for dreamers: anyone who has ever loved a bottle of wine or stood in a vineyard, closed their eyes and imagined a different life. It is the story of success and failure, and the mystery that turns a humble batch of crushed fruit into a lifelong obsession.
Vino Veritas: an American wine movie is a feature-length documentary with planned production in 2010-2012. We began shooting in June of 2010, and we launched our Kickstarter fundraising campaign in September 2010, shooting for a goal of $5,000 by November 5th. We’d love for you to follow the project and stay in touch whether or not you opt to donate as little as $1 to the cause.
