For those of you who haven't seen it, here is the video we produced as an introduction to St. Anthony. We're hoping to do a few more in the coming months.


St Anthony: An Introduction from St. Anthony on Vimeo.

It occurred to me that we had not yet thanked and credited the friends who helped put this together, principally Tommy Valdez, who made it. He photographed, filmed, edited, story boarded, and whatever else it takes to make something like this on very short notice with, well, no resources. We are not only very grateful for his efforts, but honored to work with someone so talented. We are also thankful to Ian Anderson who helped photograph as well.

The music is Annabelle's Waltz by The Corn Fed Girls, one of my very favorite bands, local or otherwise, who generously allowed us to use their music in exchange for "vittles". Special thanks to Darcy Wilkin for facilitating.

The video was filmed at my home, Fenn Valley Vineyards, Red Horse Ranch, Evergreen Lane Farm, Kismet Organics, and the home of Mike and Michelle Shaw on the beautiful Kalamazoo River watershed.

Those kind enough to give up a piece of a beautiful Sunday summer afternoon to appear in the video are Fred Bueltmann of Red Horse Ranch, Mari Reijmerink of Kismet Organics, Cathy & Tom Halinski of Evergreen Lane Farm, Roberta Casasanto, Mike and Michelle Shaw, and of course, my lovely wife Amy Lee Cook.
